Pfizer booster, flu and PD

[Dap1948]

Has anyone had problems with the Pfizer booster and the flu vaccine? I had both given, one in each arm, 10 days ago and since then I have felt tired, weak and shaky. Has anyone else had a similar reaction? I had been doing so well, my current state is hugely disappointing!

[laglag]

I get my booster tomorrow. I'll let you know next week. I got my regular flu shot two weeks ago and I did fine with it. 🥊

[Dap1948 in reply to laglag]

It probably makes sense to have them separately. I do hope all goes well with yours.

Hi Dap . . . had the Phizer booster and flu vaccine in the same week as well. I felt tired for about a week, too. Of course, some of that could have could have been due to the PD.

[KERRINGTON]

Yes, with just the 3rd booster.

[Dap1948 in reply to KERRINGTON]

Are you better now? How long did it last?

[KERRINGTON in reply to Dap1948]

As of this morning not better. Going to try adding more Mucuna.

A friend who doesn’t have PD had the booster and the flu shot at the same time and he felt awful for a few days.

[ddmagee1]

I had both the Pfizer Booster, and the flu shot ten days later! I didn’t have any problems except a sore arm and a headache for a day, after the Pfizer shot!

[lch49]

I received the booster and flu shot at the same time in the same arm about a month ago. No problems at all.

[Physio70]

Interesting - I live in Australia and Dr insisted a month after flu shot before Pfizer booster. Having both at same time.. not really surprising there would be a reaction. Brave. Flu shot left me feeling a bit ordinary for a few days.

[Pezo]

same as , in UK , both at same time , just felt crappy tired for about a week ..... but glad I got it done

[Despe]

Report your symptoms to your country's proper authorities. Adverse reactions must be reported, Dap, for future consideration of the vaccine's safety.

[LAJ12345]

The second Pfizer shot left me exhausted for about a week. The 3rd day was the worst and I was too tired to get up and I don’t have PD. In NZ they don’t give both vaccines at once as far as I know.

[Despe]

My niece's boss had the vaccine and was rushed to the hospital (Belgium) with myocarditis, one of the most common adverse side effect. Relatives of mine passed away a couple of weeks after vaccination.

I hope you feel better soon.

[Dap1948 in reply to Despe]

Oh my gosh! My complaints seem small compared to that.

[jeffmayer]

Luckily none so far had a booster and flu jab

[2bats]

As LAJ12345 says, in Queenstown New Zealand they separate flu and Covid-19 by 2 weeks. We had double vaxx with no problems, but my wife went deaf in one ear for a month after a flu jab 18mths ago - it’s a listed risk, but really worrying until the hearing returned...

[Foxed]

I have had both the flu and booster jabs, given several weeks apart. No adverse effects apart from a stiff arm each time

[alaynedellow]

Sorry to hear you not good. I had AZ n no effects. No flu jab though. Hope to hear you recovering soon 🙏

[Oldngrey in reply to alaynedellow]

Both my wife and I (PWP) had an AZ and a flu shot on he same day, neither of us had any problems.

[eschneid]

Flu and Moderna 5 days apart, no issues.

[Ropadopa]

I had the Pfizer booster last Tuesday and was in bed for 2 days total body aches, fatigue, nausea, and dizziness. It’s over a week ago and I still feel like my PD is off and my meds are not working. I have a call into my Neurologist.

I don't have P (I am 60 and super healthy), but my spouse, 74, does. His reactions to vaccines are always milder than mine are. He is tired for a day, has a sore arm for a weekend. Me: I have the chills, a fever, allover pains, dizziness, headache. Both Covid and Flu shots.

I got the Shingrix shot in Sept 2020. Felt like death for a week (it's a very powerful shot). My husband got the Shingrix shot last week and felt bad enough to skip the gym and instead, sit in the recliner for 48 hours. I had the 2hd dose of the Shingrix shot and I was seriously in pain for 2 weeks, was wondering if and when the reaction would go away. Eventually, it did. My husband just had a sore arm and sat around all weekend.

I'm not so certain that having P or not having P makes a difference with these vaccines. Everyone healthy person in my age group--late 50s to mid 60s--has a more severe reaction to shots than, say, my mother, who is 84, just recovering from Chemo and Radiation for stage 3+ breast cancer. My mom, with no immune system, had no reaction to the vaccines.

[Dap1948 in reply to Hidden]

My 85 year old husband has no reaction. He boasts about it. I tell him it’s because his immune system ISN’T fighting and a weak immune system is nothing to boast about!I was actually interested if people’s Parkie symptoms were exacerbated.

[Despe in reply to Hidden]

resources.healthydirections...

Pass it on to your mother!

[gginto]

I think it's no different than someone without pd.. just the reaction of the vaccine- i think it will eventually wear off.. I had Pfizer and had sore arm but no other reactions

[gobills]

Dap, I had a booster and flu shot 3 weeks a part with no issues.

[Williemom]

Just letting you know that my pharmacist advised me to wait at least 2 weeks between the booster and the flu shot. I haven’t had either yet….I’ve been busy with my husband’ s problems…..the PWP. He has developed some dementia that is troubling so I haven’t even had a chance to go get either shot. I’ll probably wait til after thanksgiving now. Hope you are feeling better and no other after effects.

[Canddy]

I had both just this past weekend and felt horrible the day after but since then I feel fine. Sorry you are suffering.

[Canddy in reply to Canddy]

to clarify it was the Pfizer booster

[Smittybear7]

My OT mother died from the vaccine. I think it was the booster shot and she had no preexisting problems. Hope yours goes well. I haven't had a vaccine since I was a child. I had an aniflactic reaction to an antibiotic back in the 90's and was hospitalized for 5days. I am scared to death. It's mother had the Pfizer vaccine . 5 relatives got covid after the second shot.

[Dap1948 in reply to Smittybear7]

I’m getting the impression that I have nothing to complain about!

[BootsOn]

I had my flu and pneumonia vaccinations at the same time three weeks ago, so made sure I didn't get the covid booster until this morning - Moderna rather than Pfizer. The nurse asked me if I'd had any other vaccinations in the last seven days, which had me wondering if you should have had a gap. Hope you'll soon be feeling better,

[Dap1948 in reply to BootsOn]

Well I think I’ve learned one thing, not to inflict two vaccines on my system at the same time!

[BootsOn in reply to Dap1948]

I'm going to think twice about having another booster in the future. I've had two days (so far) of horrid side effects and an increase in PD symptoms.

[LTT0019]

I may have increased PD symptoms during or after an illness including receiving a vaccine. It may take days, weeks or months to get back to my prior activity level. The symptom I get most of the time is increased tremors, frozen foot and difficulty walking. It is such a disappointment not to being able to to do something I had no problem with doing yesterday.

[Dap1948]

It’s been two weeks but I now feel better! I’m back! Let’s hope it lasts 🤞

[Goldencbc]

I had both vaccines, Pfizer booster and flu 3 weeks apart. No PD effects.

[Thecolorpurple17]

Had my pfizer booster too yesterday, yes i feel little bit tired as of today and a little bit shaky too from my normal routine, hope it will gonna go away soon

[Ep0522]

Had the pneumonia vaccine last week. Meds haven’t worked well since.
