Thanks Marydoll. I always look for your advice. Was worried I would overload my immune system! Will certainly give it some thought.

You may feel rough for a few days, but better than having to bear the discomfort twice!

My reaction to my first two Covid vaccines was so severe, it had to be reported to the Yellow Card site, as did my biologics!
I am a glutton for punishment.

However, I would rather suffer that than die! 😉

I’ve had both together and no ill effects , I did have a reaction to an earlier single vaccine, but it was nothing compared to covid
I’ll be first in the queue again !

I am immunosuppressed too. I will have both Covid and flu together as usual on Oct 5th. Today I am having the new RSV vaccine.

I'm immunocompromised and always have both together. Gets it done and dusted.

I missed my booster a few months ago, because I was too unwell to have it. By the time I recovered, the window had closed.
I have both booked at the same time for next month.

I’m booked in to have the flu jab next month. They have said that if the Covid vaccine is available it can be given on the same day.
Not sure I will take that up as I’ve never had them together before. I’m immunosuppressed so will arrange to have the Covid vaccine at a later date.

I’ve never had any adverse reactions to any jabs, and have got both booked in together again this year.
I’ve never had the flu in my life, or Covid, and don’t want to either!

I'm having both too, appointment booked at my surgery for the 5th October.

I will have both when they are offered. I would hate to pass either illness on to others.

I will be having them both. It's a no brained for me.

I m having them both start of October all booked in

I’m undecided whether to have the Covid jab this year. I always have a bad reaction to it for a couple of days afterwards.
I shall have the flu one. Does anyone else feel the same?
