i did those together in the same arm on friday,no problem but soreness.the phamacists explained that the booster is only 65%of the 1st and 2 nd shots. and said it would be fine to take both and i did in the same arm,why have 2 sore arms?I origainally took the pfizer shots and my neuro suggest if you can take one of the others do it,so i did take moderna as my booster,he said it would give you different properties of protection.i am okey-dokey

Sounds good to me I can't take the flu shot it made me so sick when I took 1 in my 20's people said I was getting sick when I took it. I tried it the next yr & never again. I was worried about the vaccine & only got a sore arm. Glad you did fine.

i'm glad it was easy for you. i didn't know about the 65% thing, it gives me hope as i'm due for my booster soon.

For a few days, I had a teensy bit of soreness after my booster, but no other reaction. But you were brave to get both at once! But, yippee, it's done till next 'flu season. Well done!

Thanks for the update. The booster I took was the same as my vaccines, Moderno. You got me wishing I would’ve taken the other one

My Neuro told me to space the flu shot and booster out by a couple of weeks. Last week I finished an antibiotic for a sinus infection so I am waiting another week and then I will get my booster.

I got mine at the same time but not the same arm.. actually had one in each arm but had 0 reaction to either one so all was good anyway
