I'm off to Costco to get not one not two not three not four but FIVE shots. Covid, flu, hepatitis b, something something, don't even remember. Pray for me. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

I got my Covid and flu shot yesterday. No issues. Thought it might be different as my first time getting the old fart flu shot (65). Nope. A bit of tenderness around the injection sites when I got into bed. Having a stay at home day today.

I ended up only getting 4. The hepatits b got postponed for reasons I didn't fully understand. Anyway, pretty quick and painless, so far so good!

Thank your immune system. It helps. The body/mind is a relational system. If your ego is grumpy about the immune response, you'll get sub-optimal results, especially with that many shots at the same time. Be VERY morally supportive of the body doing that level of material immunological lifting.

Make sure to move your arms a lot today, bicep curls and such. Makes a big difference with local pain in your arms. I got Covid and flu together a week ago and fared pretty well...hope you skate through it! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

That might be a good approach. I recently got covid, flu, hep B (final dose), and tetanus in one go and it was the first time ever that I was really beat down by a vax. I've heard the hep B is the worst, for what it's worth.

yeah, i try to plan it each year around a couple days where i won't have to physically go anywhere, and most times it ends up being no big deal... but sometimes (this year) i just need to lay on a couch and watch netflix or whatever the next day...

I got a flu shot and a COVID booster on the same day last week. No pain whatsoever and no feeling crappy (or even sleepy) afterwards.

I got five at once a few years ago. Walmart lost its contract so wanted to load me up with everything before I went somewhere else. At first I felt fine; then "off" but not sick; then a quick blast of diarrhea; then back to fine. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Still alive, but no 5G.๐Ÿ˜ž

Costco bulk vaccines - it tracks. My kiddo got four vaccines at a well child visit once - flu, Covid, HPV and something else (meningitis?) As I told him, there's nothing wrong with being scared but you can still be brave ๐Ÿฅน

The Hepatitis vaccines can wait for another time. COVID, Flu, RSV are the ones, you don't want to wait on. Do NOT get the Shingles with these others because the Shingles vaccine really does make your arms ache significantly. Add that with what these others can do and you may not be driving

White blood cell test got me a referral to a hematologist (up 2%, Epic made appt). Dr said "you have the immune system of a young alligator, go away". Month ago, Covid booster, flu and RSV shot in one go. Nothing, not even tired. Be prepared. But maybe it'll be nothing. Maybe you ๐ŸŠ too. Rawr.
