Flu & Covid jab together?!

Had both in one arm last week. Apart from slight soreness over the weekend no ill effects.

Had both two weeks ago. Felt the flu one going in, apparently a lot of people saying the same according to the nurse but nothing to be concern about really. During the night I thought the weather must have turned warmer as kept throwing duvet off. In the morning, felt a bit under the weather and realised probably down to vaccination. By afternoon, all fine again.

We had both jabs together ,one in each arm.Just had slightly sore arms but no side effects.

Had both together and in same arm no problem

I don’t have either

It’s absolutely fine to have a flu and Covid vaccine together, with any vaccine you can feel a little bit out of sorts around 12 to 24 hours later like you ve got a cold coming on and you may get a localised reaction like a bit of an achy arm all of which are normal side effects, we re all different and we all respond differently to medications and vaccines, some may have no side effects and others may feel some mild cold like symptoms.
Just fyi I am a vaccinating nurse even at the ripe old age of 67, going for my Covid jab on Fri

Him and me had the Covid jab- Moderna. And hsve been quite ill, never had these problems with phizer

When I had my very first Covid shot years ago (in my arm) I had a very severe reaction to it that showed up five days later. All my lymph glands swelled up from my armpit into shoulder, up my neck and into my jaw around my ear. I thought I was dying 😰. It was painful.

Thanks to a New York Times article exposing this phenomenon in women who have had cancer and lymph node dissection, after medical research and biopsies on some of these cases it turned that the Covid vaccine was stimulating and igniting my immune system.

Each year since the beginning I’ve had my flu shot in my ARM and my Covid in my THIGH (per my Dr’s recommendation.) I’ve never had any further trouble with getting both done in this manner.

Had them at the same time, in different arms, for the past 3 years. Zero side effects every time, just a slight bruised feeling in my flu arm.

Both jags in same arm as I sleep on the other side. Exercise class at night,not even a stiff arm in the morning.

Had both together last week and had no reactions, not even a sore arm like last time. Very pleased.

Won’t be having both together again, last year had both and within 10 days had shingles. Ended up at eye hospital and was in bed I’ll for 4 days. Research in USA into whether there is a connection with both vaccines and shingles.

Had both at the same time last week. As before, no problems other than slightly sore shoulders but not enough to prevent sleep.

Doodle

I had flu and covid together on Monday and have felt really ill ever since. Really sore throat, stomach upset and feel generally unwell. I was fine when I went for the jabs. Haven’t had a sore throat for ages and this one is really bad paracetamol and hot drinks aren’t making it any better,

That is the thing striking me - as in no-one is ever going to get me to have either of those jabs for sure. But for someone who does decide to have both and then felt ill afterwards = how would you know which jab was the culprit out of the two? At the least - have them separately and then you can identify which one it was that did that.

The problem having them together is that if you have a reaction you have no idea which one is the problem. I live in France and both my GP and pharmacy recommend them separately exactly for that reason

I had them both together a week ago. The nurse recommended having them in the same arm unless you sleep on your back. I couldn’t sleep on that side for a few days but no other side effects at all.
The shingles jabs were worse in terms of a sore arm which was much sorer for a longer time. But those injections took longer to do so presumably more in them.

I've had all the vaccines I can (hubby is "vulnerable" after kidney transplant) but have still had Covid 4 times and after a bout last August, still have excess mucus and blocked nose in the mornings over a year later. I always react really badly to the vaccines too (separately or together!) so am in a quandary now. Have booked, but may chicken out!
The last reaction to the vaccines was actually worse than one of the Covid attacks I had! What to do...?

Yes I had them both together and had no adverse effects
However, the Covid jab was Pfizer which I can tolerate with no effects. When I had Moderna I felt quite ill the next day. I think everyone has a slightly different level of tolerance

Always have mine together, and in the same arm. Apparently, as long as they're done about 2cm apart, it's fine to do it.

Had my Covid jab three days ago in the morning and then slept for three hours that afternoon. I was still sleepy the next day and kept falling asleep whenever I sat down. My arm was really aching and swelled up into a hard, red lump about three inches across, and it has now become really itchy.
This morning I had my flu vaccine, in the other arm. No side effects yet.

My surgery don’t do them together? Covid bookings not being taken until end of October?
Next is the RSV one?

Last year DH & I had both these vaccinations at same time, with no problems. Earlier today had the same; we are feeling OK, thus far.

One in each arm last week ! No issues but was a bit tired on the next day!!

I had mine on Tuesday. I was a little apprehensive as I'd had my first case of covid a couple of weeks earlier and had been rather poorly. Apart from sore arms and a dreadful headache for a couple of days it was fine.

Always have mine together and in the same arm,felt abit off colour for 24 hours, and had a sore arm for a day or two,but a week later I am fine
