Lately, there have been a lot of PSAs regarding getting your vaccinations updated.
The ads involve celebrities who have multiple vaccinations during the same visit to a pharmacy.
Perhaps to show "knucklehead" solidarity with my governor I had my annual covid, flu and RSV yesterday afternoon.
Based on how I feel today that was not one of my better ideas!

Multiple jabs
I had my latest COVID booster and Flu jab on Saturday. One in each arm. My GP surgery held a mass vaccination event. I was in and out inside two minutes. No ill effects other than a bit of a sore arm from the Flu jab. That was gone the next morning.

My mileage varies
We had ours done on Saturday, one in each arm. The rest of the day was mostly fine but arms began to throb by the evening. My left (Covid) hurt most, her right (Flu) hurt her most. Sleeping was not easy at all. I had an additional complication that, because I had to lie almost on my back my lungs began filling with mucous, which meant I kept waking up to cough it out before I choked.
Both of us spent most of Saturday asleep at different times. Fortunately it has all faded now, but I had to cancel my Cardiac Rehab on Monday as I couldn't lift anything with either arm.

I get them separately now
Neither the flu shot nor the COVID booster bother me, but if I get them together I have flu-like symptoms the next day. If you’re like me, they’ll be gone tomorrow. But then, you did get three jabs . . . .

Over several days two weeks ago I received the One-and-Done Pneumonia vaccine and the Flu vaccine. I was achy and fatigued for over a week.

I'm already feeling better. My spouse has been great.

It doesn't help but sorry about your reaction to the shots. The purpose is supposed to possibly hurt a little so one doesn't hurt in a big way later. Hang tuff hon.
Haven't had a flu shot in more than twenty six years. Yes I paid a price as I had Covid three times. First time thought I was going to die and was afraid I wouldn't. Second time was a bump in the road. Third time they had to tell me what I had as I was feeling poorly. The only preventive shots I have taken are for ttetanus every four years.
TV hasn't been on for eighteen years. One of my better decisions. Still catch multiple news channels on the web, and yes even flavored with the MSM channels, overseas, and conservative feeds.
Hugs Jill, get better soon

Various Shots
I haven't had any trouble with two shots at a time (same arm, didn't want to have both arms hurting if there was a problem). But I've never wanted to try for three. Had the second installment of the shingles shot last week, but held off on COVID and flu. I'll probably get them today. (Recommendation out here is age 75 for the RSV vaccine, so I'm still a year away. My mom got all three shots around two weeks ago and the arm with two shots was sore the next day.)
