None at all. Both arms just a bit tender for one night, which interfered with my sleep a bit, but that was all.However, we all react differently, so this is no guarantee it will be the same for you.

Good luck

If you look at the right hand side of this page - there is a section for all Covid information.

It was set up purely to help and keep the Covid questions, answers and official information all in one place.

I had them a day apart and felt a bit seedy. Just plan for a nice restful day.

Had them separated by two weeks (my choice) and felt seedy after each one - just for the day after - very tired and achey so glad I'd separated them.

I personally am not in favor of taking two vaccines at once. In 2015 I received the pneumonia vaccine and the flu vaccine at the same time. Eight days later I was sick with PMR but I didn’t know what it was. It was recommended to get the flu jab first. Before the Covid booster. So September 13 this year I received the flu job. In the ensuing two weeks I had a severe asthma flare ending up in the hospital for four days. I am still on high-dose steroids and oxygen at home. Needless to say I cannot have the Covid booster until I’m at a lower dose of Prednisone because I am on 12.5 for this week for the asthma. I have no idea of the status of my PMR because, even though I’ve had absolutely no symptoms for months on any dose, I’ve never gotten low enough to find out.
