Morning everyone,Just to say I went along for my COVID and Flu vaccine on Thursday. I have had a reaction over the last 24 hours of feeling like I had flu: headache, aching joints, a bit feverish. I feel better this morning but I often have a reaction to the COVID vaccine. In future I think I will not have both together. Has anyone else had this?
Hope everyone is well and thank you for all your support.
I reacted badly when i combined the flu and pneumonia vaccines. It felt like I had a bad case of the flu and both arms hurt significantly, a very unusual reaction for me. I will no longer combine vaccines. I space them out at least two weeks.
I think you are exactly right and it is sound advice, I just wish the NHS had suggested it. Hope you and your family are doing ok.
I was advised by hematologist to not get flu and Covid together as had done in previous years. She said only get one vaccine at a time and spread two weeks apart. I have had flu and first of shingles vaccines so far. Both resulted in very sore, red and swollen areas at injection site for about a week after but no worse side effects. Covid not scheduled yet. Stay safe.
Thank you, I think in future I will take the vaccines separately to be on the safe side as I felt quite poorly. It might not make any difference though but it's got to be worth a try. Look after yourself too.
