How are we getting through it?

Had my boster couple weeks ago, flu mid October.

Had my 6th Covid jab last Thursday and was offered the flu jab at the same time.
Mistake!
Heavy cold symptoms and listless the whole of next day.    Couldn't even be bothered to look at pics of figures.
First time I have had any adverse reaction other than minor pain where the needle went in.
All OK again now.

Our son has his booster on Friday and may be offered the flu jab at the same time, depending upon the pharmacy. My combined jab is in October.

No boosters yet up here but the autumn flu bug has hit with a vengeance and wiped out nearly half the staff.  Feeling a bit more human today but it's been a rough one. 

I was kinda expecting it after we've all spent so long avoiding each other and staying clear of the regular bugs.  Our immune systems aren't going to be primed and ready to fight the common cold.

Hi

Had my 'booster' two weeks ago, just after the 28 days interval after having Covid for the first time. Flu jab Saturday week. Covid figures do seem to be creeping up again in the South West.

Cheers Paul

I'm enjoying watching re-runs of the superb World At War tv series from the early 1970's. I've seen it countless times but always enjoy it everytime after a few years break.

Double jabbed today and now beginning to feel rather off colour. Better than having Covid though based upon previous experience.

[Heedless Horseman]

I have been 'off colour' for last three days. Don't think Covid, though... but no wish to eat anything.
Have received invite for Covid Booster and recommendation for Flu jab but not booked yet.

Lots of colds and Covid have been doing the rounds in the local schools here over the past week or so.

Got double-jabbed on the 11th; took a week to get over it.

Not feeling too bad now. Flu arm OK, but Covid arm rather sore, but then this is my dystonic tremors arm which doesn't like this sort of thing at all .

[Gwydion]

Covid (and possibly flu) due this coming Wednesday. So far no bad effects at all with any vaccinations, so fingers crossed!

Sorry to hear about others reactions.

(only time I ever had any probs from a jab was a tetanus injection when I was 17, he stuck it in my deltoid for some bizarre reason and it nearly paralysed my arm for a couple of days.)

[John Cook]

Had a flu jab and a fifth COVID jab last week.  Very efficient.  One in each arm simultaneously.  No side effects but I never do from flu labs and I've been having them for years.  I've had four different 'makes' of COVID jab now and no problem with any of them, just a red mark where it was administered.  Must be lucky I suppose.

Waiting for an invitation for flu and covid jabs- think it will be my 4th Covid one, my wife will probably be up to 6 or 7 on the next one. 

Never had much of a reaction from flu jabs. 

Covid jabs, not the same, first one about 24-36hrs after just went to sleep for several hours after feeling fairly rough. The others I certainly had a sore arm some hours after. When I had covid early this year, my main symptom was to be asleep - which until now I hadn't linked back to the first jab. Perhaps unconnected.

4th Covid jab a couple of weeks ago and seasonal flu jab yesterday. Nay bother whatsoever.

Well done the NHS 👏👏
