Pneumonia and shingles jabs- anyone had?

It's pot luck. The only one I've reacted to was the pneumococcal vacc, I had to support my arm for 24 hours because any movement was so painful.

Last month I had the RSV and pneumonia jabs at the same time in Different arms, no ill effects.
I asked about the shingles jab but was told that the one I had two years ago does not need a booster. Like RSV and pneumonia which are also one-offs, they said.
Last week I had Covid and flu jabs on the same day, in different arms. No ill effects other than a bit of a sore arm, the flu one, unlike last year when I and quite a few others were unwell for a couple of days.

I had covid and shingles jabs last week in different arms with no ill effects at all.
Haven't been offered Pneumonia or RSV jabs at all.

I haven't been offered RSV, although I have respiratory issues. Is there an age limit for getting it (I'm 65)?

I did hear that there was a risk of it causing Gullain Barre Syndrome occasionally, which would make me think twice though.

I had the pneumonia jab ages ago (maybe ten years), and seem to remember being told it would last for life.

I was a bit worried about having a flu and covid jab at the same time last year but went ahead with it with no ill effects. To be honest these days I take every vaccination I can have! It’s really important to have the shingles and pneumonia jabs, especially as they only need doing once. Always an idea to check up on tetanus jab status, too. I did feel very tired one year after having my flu jab and the pharmacist said she was the same ( as was my partner) so always an idea to have a clear week afterwards to rest up if you do feel tired.

Shingles vacc is 2 doses, 6 months apart.

The RSV is primarily aimed at the 75-79 age group.
