My covid arm is sore and I'm kinda of sleepy. I'm using Tylenol.

I didn’t want to give my arm autism.

I got Covid, RSV and the first shingles dose in April, with no issues, but the powers that be will no longer allow it. So I have to go back in two weeks, which will put it very close to the six month deadline.

Vaccines on Tuesday. Felt bad for 24 hours and sore arms for 48 hours

Same time.

Same arm.

I got the Covid shot (left arm) and the flu shot (right arm), both of them Tuesday. And then, on Wednesday, I was zonked all day. Dog-tired all day, no appetite at all, what little I ate, I forced down because I felt I should eat something. I've never been affected like that by the Covid shot before. Back to normal today, though.

Slept all day and had the "muscle aches" which was a first. I walked like a really old person. OK today though. Not sure if it was the Covid, flu, or both that caused it.

in the same arm, which is sore. Had blood drawn from the other arm. Took a nap when I got home. It's still better than getting Covid or the flu. though.

I don’t know what was in the juice this time but I had a reaction that put me back a couple of days. All I wanted to do was sleep..no energy, headache n my ears felt stuffed up. I get my shots every September and have never had a reaction..my arm was sore for about a day as I got both shots in my left arm. Small price to pay if it’s gonna keep me from getting really sick.

was able to get the Pfizer covid vaccination at CVS on Wednesday. Good Luck!

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. Like you, I had a sore arm for a few days, but that’s a sign that the vaccines are working.

( I got both in the same arm.)

Gonna get the new one come November.

I didn't have any reaction to the flu shot.

Still, better than COVID.

Covid (Pfizer) in one arm and rsv, tdap, and flu in the other. I had about 18 hours of the worst soreness I've ever had after a shot from the covid, but it is a million times worth it if it prevents me from getting covid again.

Here in Florida 2 weeks ago the Moderna and Pfizer were both available at CVS, but they suddenly disappeared before I made an appointment. This week when I saw that there was one CVS that has appointments I jumped on it.

not the Flu one. I also had headaches and muscle soreness for a few days. I’m going back for a measles booster.

No one in the family has had any reaction to the flu, Covid, RSV, or shingles shots. Not even a sore arm. Must be working, since we haven’t had Covid or anything else. My only bad experience with anything resembling an immunization was a combined allergy shot for cats and dust. Now that was really awful.

My Covid shot was the last booster from earlier in the year. I still need the new one, but they said to wait two months before getting a new one, so I will have to get that one here in Germany at the end of October.

As for Bobby, Jr., well if anyone remembers the tune of "Me and Bobbie McGee," there's this (we already got some Republican hate mail, so it can't have been all wrong)--"Flouride's just another word for teeth that you won't lose..."

The Moderna side still hurts. I live in PA, no script needed.

Flu and Covid in one arm, RSV in the other. Initially the RSV site was sore but it's fine now. The arm with two is more sore than I ever get from vaccines but not sore enough to interfere with activity.

But the last two shots no problems whatsoever.

Just got back from my Covid shot about 2 hrs ago.
Already forgot about it and now I’m trying to see if I feel anything.
I’ll check back if I do.

My flu shot appointment was for my "errand day out" last Wednesday. Came down with the flu on Friday! It's the first time in years I've had it. I get the shot every September - this year the bug beat me to it. Nasty thing.

Had a COVID booster last July, 6 months from the previous, as COVID was spiking in my area, so now have to wait until November for the updated one. Will get it as soon as eligible and hope it doesn't race me as the flu did.

I was warned that the DTaP would hurt but I am sore on the arm that got the flu shot.
