Okay, I’ve learned my lesson. I will never voluntarily receive more than one vaccination per shoulder. I chose my left for the double jab yesterday, forgetting that I sleep on my left side. Twenty-four hours later the discomfort was quite evident, even just hobbling around (I use the cane on my right side to counterbalance the always-ready-to-collapse left knee). I was surprised that my right arm, the recipient of the T-DAP vaccine, didn’t bother me more. In the past, tetanus has always been more painful than flu.
But other than the pain, I’ve had very little side effects - a slight fever and some body aches. I had some chills this morning when I crawled into bed, but that could have been because it was cold in my bedroom.
I didn’t expect any side effects as I had very little reaction to my previous Moderna Covid vaccinations.

I've heard the booster has a stronger effect. I felt nothing from the first, but the second made me sleep all day. I'm planning on the booster for Friday so I have the weekend.

The first shot gave me a slight fever and chills but I had no symptoms from the second. My BFF’s daughter suffered the same symptoms with the booster that she had from both the precursors (Moderna). Another friend told me that his friends got diarrhea from the booster. (I told him that I wouldn’t notice that since I have explosive diarrhea every single day. Yep, me. The person that used to poop twice a week, max, even with Metamucil!). So, I guess I got off easy. I actually had a nearly normal shit yesterday!

I've heard more people say that the flu shot knocked them on their ass than ever before. I'm wondering if it isn't because of the covid vaccination. After all the flu is just another coronavirus, so in theory, the antibodies produced by the COVID vaccine should go after the flu vaccine as an 'invader'
And the reports of the flu vaccine being more 'potent' this year have all come from my strictly scientific study of vaccinated friends and relatives. Further study shows that those amongst the unvaxxed are also refusing the flu shot, because they kind of have to on principle now - if one is bad, then how can the other be good?
Still have to get my Flu shot - will try to do so on Saturday

After all the flu is just another coronavirus, so in theory, the antibodies produced by the COVID vaccine should go after the flu vaccine as an 'invader' Very astute. I never thought about that. We both got our flu shots. She said her arm was a little sore (the most common side effect) and I had zip. We haven't gotten the booster for covid yet. Undecided about it right now even though I asked when I got my flupoke. That was like the day or the day after Moderna was Phizer boosters were approved and they said they didn't have the info on it yet. Any vax that takes 2 injections should last longer than 6 months, right? They're saying the antibodies from getting the virus lasts 9. So what's wrong with this picture?- "It appears antibodies produced after COVID-19 infection and after vaccination last about the same amount of time: 9 to 12 months, Milstone said. But the vaccine prompts significantly higher levels of antibodies, especially if the two-dose regimen happens after an infection, a new Johns Hopkins Medicine study suggests." wtop.com/coronavirus/2021/11/new-data-on-antibody-immunity-against-covid-19-but-the-real-story-is-a-work-in-progress/Pam, I had one of those uncooperative knee moments last week. Got up from my bar stool and luckily there was something very close to keep me from going down. Knee completely buckled. and obligatory- No it wasn't the beer.
