I am curious as last year when I had injections together I was told they are not live and I wouldn’t have a reaction.

I had flu and covid injections at the same time two weeks ago. I was ok initially but later on I felt dreadful. Every part of me ached banging headache and shivering for two days.
I won't be having the injections together again because of the nasty reaction.

I had a covid injection a few weeks ago [and also the flu jab in the other arm], I didn't feel the jabs but the covid arm did ache for a day or so but I didn't get any other pain.
Do get yourself checked out, it seems an unusual reaction -
unless it was nothing to do with the jab

I had my covid injection yesterday . The pharmacist said that my arm would be heavy - it wasn't .
The pharmacy was much nicer than my doctor's surgery and I'll have my jabs there in future .
I had felt a bit tired prior to going due to not sleeping well .
When I came out I had tea and some paracetamol as advised .
About five hours later , a throbbing persistent pain began in my mid calf .
I had a poor night with nightmares and the pain eventually passed off .
I'll keep an eye on it .
Never had a reaction like that before .
