Flu & Covid jab together?!

Had both last week and previous lot were together too, never had any side effects.

My partner and I did, he had no side effects at all, but I did. My partner will have the same again. I will not.
I think everyone is different, you can try it but if you find you get side effects you know not to fo the same next time.

Phew! That’s a relief I’m 63 and fairly fit and healthy so fingers crossed all will be well. Thank you for replying 😊

I had mine together last year no problem

I have always had them together. I usually get a mild reaction to the Covid jab. A recent US study found that it was positive if people had a reaction because it meant our antibodies were building a robust immune response and offered us extra protection.

Had mine together last year and this year.

Had mine together in same arm, no problem.

I get a sore arm so I'm having mine separately - had flu jab today, getting Covid jab in a couple of weeks' time.

Had mine together on Monday, as I did last year. I’m 73 and no real problems - a bit sore around the injection sites, but that’s par for the course.

I had that last year and will have the same next week. My only problem was persuading the nurse to do both in the same arm so that I could sleep on the other side. She said they normally do one in each arm.

I had both on the same day again. Never have any side effects, not even sore arms.

Yes, together on same day, different arms. Felt fine.

Had both yesterday. One on each arm. No problems.

Thank you ladies for all the positive responses I shall put my ‘big girl pants on’ and do it!

had them both this morning. Spent the afternoon gardening and I am feeling fine.

Had both mine in the same arm this morning. Everything fine so far! 🤞

I got mine in the same arm on Sunday and felt awful on Monday, a bit better yesterday and am fine today.

I did have an appointment for a B12 injection and shingles booster this morning, but the nurse advised me to leave the shingles one for a week or two, which I've done. B12 is a nasty injection, but other than a dead arm there are no side effects as it doesn't interfere with the immune system, so I went ahead with that.

I had flu and covid together on Monday and have felt really ill ever since. Really sore throat, stomach upset and feel generally unwell. I was fine when I went for the jabs. Haven’t had a sore throat for ages and this one is really bad paracetamol and hot drinks aren’t making it any better,

Yes, I felt really grim too, but it's passed. I hope you get well soon, Doodle.

I ve always had them together and booked in for both in two weeks time I also had the pneumonia and shingles together ages back never had any problems with any of them

I had them together last year . One in each arm . It was sore at the injection site but otherwise ok . I’m having both in 10 days .

Thanks Doodledog 😊

We both had both jabs on Monday, one in each arm. We have both been fine apart from slightly sore arms. Hope it goes well for you too.

I had them both in one arm, as I had minor surgery on the wrist of my other arm a few weeks ago, and although I do not think that would have affected my reactions, I decided not to have an injection in there today.
