Me too, a couple of weeks ago. I had them on separate days though.
A frIend of ours had the flu jab and the pneumonia jab at the same time the day before he flew out to join us out in Spain. He was coming out for a short break over Xmas but he spent most of it in bed instead.

Regards Tyrone.

Got covid in one arm and flu in the other a week ago on Saturday. Got a bit of a reaction from the Moderna one, but not as bad as her indoors had.

I had the Moderna, no real problem just a sore arm for a day.

This correlates with what I saw in friends and familly. Those who got the Moderna Bivalent booster and the flu shot at the same time has a worse time with side effects.

No more free discount coupons with a covid or flu shot. Best you can hope for is a cartoon sticker or for the ladies a princess in pink or purple.

yup wife got flu and pneumonia at the same time was grumbling for a week
got my shingles arm hurt but that was all,
the nurse said to only get one at a time

Had my Flu Shot and Pfizer Covid Bivalent on Monday. Mild sore arm was all I experienced. I feel so grateful for all the hard work and expertise that went into producing these safe and effective vaccines. Hundreds of thousands more folks in the US alone would be dead were it not for the Covid vaccines and flu vaccines.

My wife got Covid a couple weeks ago and experienced only mild sxs. As she is in her 70's, were she unvaccinated she might well not be here.

I got the Moderna shot a couple of weeks ago; not even a sore arm.
I got my second shingles shot in my left arm and flu shot in my right arm.
I am feeling a little discomfort from the flu shot this afternoon… I wouldn’t call it pain.

I got both Moderna and flu in the same arm just after lunch. By about 6 I was feeling a little funky. Felt like mild flu until the next evening. Small price to pay.

 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

All I can say is previously I could have written the book about getting flu or very heavy colds. Bad enough to keep me off work and in bed. I’d say I got it about every 3 or 4 years !

After one particularly bad bout over Xmas were I was in bed all Xmas day and Boxing Day ( the day after Xmas day in the UK ) my wife said “ If you don’t get the jab next year I’m going to divorce you ! “ I’m not 100% sure she was joking.

That was in 2010. I got the jab the following year and I’ve had it every year since. Since then I’ve never had the flu or a cold bad enough to lay me up.

Regards Tyrone.

If you think you need it get it, it’s a free world, but I would like someone to explain why everyone not getting it was vilified as a granny killer when it did not prevent the spread of the disease, Pfizer’s ceo just admitted it was not even tested to stop the spread ( they had to move at the speed of science? Wtf is that, from the head of a biotechnology company)
If then having the jab did not stop the spread what the hell was a vac passport for, you could catch it repeatedly and spread it with impunity, I get the feeling I was lied to and coerced into a jab for no reason, if controlling the spread was the justification.
You couldn’t catch a plane without a jab, you you could still transmit the disease the same as unjabed.
Mind your still not allowed to talk or question our glorious leadership about it.
Wiv was built by the french authorised by mr barnier and countersigned by my macron, red flag there.
I’m suspicious myself

Heres a link to what you're mentioning. She mentions "moving at the speed of science to understand the market" to me that sounds like money was the motivation to move quickly.

ANd now it starts. Somebody says 'hey you might want to do this to reduce your chances of getting real sick' and next thing it's a slug fest of antivaxers.

If someone wants the flu shot, will they really need reminding? Or is this a poke at those who do not get it? I do not care either way, I believe it is up to the individual.

You really think people on this site are like, well Jimmy got his boosters so i better go get mine. Sorry bud, all ya'll were lied too. This was always about money, and when they are forced to disclose their financials, you'll see who profited from each jab. Besides if you cant talk about cheap Chinese home shop stuff, we shouldnt be talkin about the China-virus either.

Jimmy doesnt feel that way. Hes just following the science.
