Flu & Covid jab together?!

My covid jab last year, I reckon they changed the needle size as couldn't feel it.

Dad's had his RSV? jab as he's hit 80 and he's come down with chills, raging cold and vertigo! He's not pleased and GP has given him pills for the vertigo. Every year he has side effects to Covid jab and flu jab because he insists on having them at same time to save time!

My husband had both together last year and this years a few days ago no side effects other than one arm ached few hours
I’ve not had both together yet.
only problem I’ve had was with the shingles jab, next day had about 6 hives one on face others on body, I’m still getting them on and off just the odd one or two, they itch like mad, now about to see dr about this as never had hives before? wish I hadn’t had that one… 😦

Everybody is different but On advice from the vet, we've always had ours at least a week apart.

Yes, I trust the, now retired vet (how dare he!!!) He always said it was a lot for the immune system to take at one go, one of the reasons whenever the dog needed her booster, we would always go a 2nd time to the vets a week later after our monthly appointment.

Had them together previously and booked in tomorrow to have the double injections again, so far no bad reactions 🤞🏻

I had my flu jab last Sunday and Covid on Monday pm. Went to Spain on Tuesday and have had flu like symptoms, tiredness and a cough. Not sure if it was from them but I have never had any problems before..I'm hoping it will be gone by the time I go home on Tuesday.

Had the over 65s flu jab Thursday in left arm and Moderna vaccine in right arm. The latter was painful overnight and inflamed and hot to touch..didn’t sleep well at all. Now it’s day 2 and still inflamed and warm to touch but also have had a headache and feel crap… I didn’t have these reactions with Astra Zenica so will be prepared next year- GP surgery offering pneumonia jab - think I will wait couple of weeks..
I was asked before the Moderna jab if I had an egg allergy- I don’t- did not get asked this last time- hmm interesting!

Another one who flu and covid jabs together a week ago. This time I was surprised when they asked me if I wanted them both in the same arm. I declined so ended up with two sore arms, rather than one and consequently found it difficult to get comfortable in bed but the soreness had worn off a lot by the morning.

Take a couple of paracetamol beforehand. I was told to do it by a nurse. No problems x

I just had both together on Wednesday, no problems

Think it’s best to have them separately if possible. Already have cold so just having Covid today with flu one from pharmacy in a couple of weeks.
Last time I got a frozen shoulder after the needle was put in too high up my arm. Needed physio for a few sessions afterwards.

I had mine about 20 minutes apart on Wednesday as I had to have the Covid in the surgery and the flu in the chemist which is part of the surgery! No idea why. My husband had his done at the same time and same way. Only difference was he had one in each arm I had both of mine in my right arm. He was kept awake by tender arms whereas I wasn't.

Three days on no problems for either of us.

I've been this morning for both and have had it done several times before.

I was invited to take part in a clinical trial in 2021 to see if the Covid and flu jabs could be taken together. I had to record medical facts each day but had no adverse reaction at all. Best part of all was that I was paid to attend!

I've never usually had a problem with either jab previously apart from a bit of a sore arm for a couple of days. I had flu and covid jab in each arm last Saturday and up until Wednesday I was feeling fine but these past few days I've felt a bit under par and headachy. I suppose they affect everyone differently and they are a different variant each year, that's what I'm putting it down to anyway

I had one today an have booked the other for three weeks hence. Don't want my body taking two hits at once. Daft maybe, but has always worked for me.

As NanaK 54 , we both had both yesterday , one in each arm. As you said pleased and grateful .
DH has sore arms and slightly more achy than he usually is but feels fine. I 've lost the day , sleepy , headache , no energy which is unusual. Can't wait for bedtime , sure I 'll be alright tomorrow. It happens every year with flu not covid, but think severity depends on the strain they target.

We had both yesterday, feeling a little below par today, but nothing that we can't cope with and just pleased and grateful to get some renewed protection.

I had the flu jab yesterday, very painful arm, it’s red down to my elbow. It will pass ready for the Covid jab in a week.

I had one in each arm yesterday, with one side-effects. This morning I have the equivalent of a minor bruise feeling.
I'm told there is a Covid spike in this area

I had both jabs on Monday - one in each arm - and have had no side effects at all.

I’ve always had both together even last year 4 days after my hip operation . Booked for both next week and last week had shingles and pneumonia jabs together.
Luckily I’ve never had any reaction. Not sure if my arms ache because of them as they always do anyway.

I had the flu jab on Saturday - no problems except a sore arm. Then had the Covid jab yesterday and have felt bad all day today - migraine with aura and nausea. Feeling really tired now as well.

Had the flu and COVID jabs on Sunday with no ill effects afterwards.

I'm on blood thinners. I had a covid jab in one arm and the flu one in the other. Yes the covid arm was a bit stiff but it soon went after a few days. Better that than not having it I say

I’m still feeling unwell today. Had jabs Monday and developed my first sore throat in ages, overnight. Stomach upset and throat still bad. Hoping it wears off soon.
