 @3967703f Monday I had both along with my wife. I had no reaction as before but my wife really suffered for two days! Happy to have them, especially as a neighbor got Covid and gave it to many people including an 85 year old friend!

 @3125a629 That stinks for your wife. It happens to my husband as well. And, yes, very grateful to have them. It's crazy to reject them in the face of all this.

 @3967703f give me all the shots you got! We like getting both at once, only one bad day potentially instead of two!

 @3125a629 Same! I tried to do both at once and couldn't because of my insurance. 🙄 I'm getting a flu shot when she gets both of her shots. My mom was a teacher. She's all about a flu shot. My dad, on the other hand, told me he's never had one at 88 years old.

 @3967703f I am late 50s and have to thank Covid (!!!!) for teaching me about the importance of shots. I hadn't paid much attention before but sure do know the value now! The only one I have reacted to was the two shingrix shots I had last year.

 @3125a629 Same! I never even had a flu shot before Covid. I reacted to the shingrix shots as well. My arm swelled up really big for 4 days.
