Flu & Covid jab together?!

Had both at the same time last week. As before, no problems other than slightly sore shoulders but not enough to prevent sleep.

Won’t be having both together again, last year had both and within 10 days had shingles. Ended up at eye hospital and was in bed I’ll for 4 days. Research in USA into whether there is a connection with both vaccines and shingles.

Had both together last week and had no reactions, not even a sore arm like last time. Very pleased.

Both jags in same arm as I sleep on the other side. Exercise class at night,not even a stiff arm in the morning.

Had them at the same time, in different arms, for the past 3 years. Zero side effects every time, just a slight bruised feeling in my flu arm.

When I had my very first Covid shot years ago (in my arm) I had a very severe reaction to it that showed up five days later. All my lymph glands swelled up from my armpit into shoulder, up my neck and into my jaw around my ear. I thought I was dying 😰. It was painful.

Thanks to a New York Times article exposing this phenomenon in women who have had cancer and lymph node dissection, after medical research and biopsies on some of these cases it turned that the Covid vaccine was stimulating and igniting my immune system.

Each year since the beginning I’ve had my flu shot in my ARM and my Covid in my THIGH (per my Dr’s recommendation.) I’ve never had any further trouble with getting both done in this manner.

Him and me had the Covid jab- Moderna. And hsve been quite ill, never had these problems with phizer

It’s absolutely fine to have a flu and Covid vaccine together, with any vaccine you can feel a little bit out of sorts around 12 to 24 hours later like you ve got a cold coming on and you may get a localised reaction like a bit of an achy arm all of which are normal side effects, we re all different and we all respond differently to medications and vaccines, some may have no side effects and others may feel some mild cold like symptoms.
Just fyi I am a vaccinating nurse even at the ripe old age of 67, going for my Covid jab on Fri

I don’t have either

Had both together and in same arm no problem

We had both jabs together ,one in each arm.Just had slightly sore arms but no side effects.

Had both two weeks ago. Felt the flu one going in, apparently a lot of people saying the same according to the nurse but nothing to be concern about really. During the night I thought the weather must have turned warmer as kept throwing duvet off. In the morning, felt a bit under the weather and realised probably down to vaccination. By afternoon, all fine again.

Had both in one arm last week. Apart from slight soreness over the weekend no ill effects.

Always have mine together, and in the same arm. Apparently, as long as they're done about 2cm apart, it's fine to do it.

Have I got it wrong then? - as I thought/feel pretty certain that jabs (of any description) go into the bloodstream and it's one continuous loop throughout the body. Therefore anything that got put in one section of the bloodstream would instantly head as short a distance away as 2 cm and wouldn't take very long at all before it headed all round every bit of the bloodstream......

I had both together last week, in the same arm. no problems at all . DH felt a bit off for a day, friend was a bit nauseous … it’s all individual . I just wanted both as quickly as possible.

I only had the flu jab this time and had a strong reaction. Felt quite unwell for two days. I’ve decided after everything I’ve heard about the Covid injections not to have another one. But in any case I won’t have two together as I let my body have a rest in between. No rush. We have a walk in service here so it’s not a problem.

Just had both mine today, in each arm. I’ve had them both before and not had any reaction so fingers crossed 🤞 I won’t this time.

DH had both. One in each arm. No real side effects other than one arm felt like he had been punched by "Our 'Enry", as is usual with some vaccinations.

My husband and I had both, one in each arm, no side effects apart from slightly sore injection site for a few days.

I had them together last yearwith no ill effects. I need to book this year's but so far my GP have offered dates I couldn't do and are not offering covid at all, so I gather I need to book online. Don't worry about having them together. I just made sure I had the covid one in the arm I don't sleep on as if I've had post injection pain the covid has been worse, but last year there wasn't even much pain at all. As I reached 70 recently I have booked the shingles jab too.

My husband and I both had our flu and Covid jabs on the same day, but different arms. No problems at all. Will do the same again next year.

Had mine together last year - no side effects

My wife and I had both jabs, one in each arms. No problems for either of us not even a slightly sore arms which I have had in the past. I would do it again to avoid the extra appointment.

I had both one in each arm about 30 mins apart. No side effects as such other than sore arm. I have heard people having more side effects with Moderna which seems to be the current common vaccine this time. In the Information sheet it does say its been adjusted to the current strain do maybe that's why.

Had mine together and the only issue I had was a bit of an achy upper arm (same with my husband)
