Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #111

[ilovewings]

DH was perfectly fine after our flu shots yesterday, but I felt a bit queasy for a while in the afternoon. I actually thought about lying down but sat quietly and read instead. I sipped Pedialyte and felt better after a couple of hours. Slept like a log last night.

We scheduled our Covid boosters for October 26. If I decide to get the RSV vax, I'll get that in mid-November.

Glad you are feeing better!!!!

Got my covid vax this afternoon. No side effects - it has been about 6 hours now. It just itched right after - but now that is gone.
Nurse told me this was my 6th covid vax! I do not even remember getting that MANY!! LOL!

Thank you. It's very rare for me to have side effects from shots, but I felt nauseous and a little dizzy for a couple of hours.

I got my flu shot on Tuesday morning and later on that evening felt just a little bit off. Kind of tired and blah feeling.

Trying to find a novavaxx booster but it’s proving difficult. I’ll go with another moderna in a week or two otherwise.

I felt the same way with my flu shot this year. It was a first for me. I usually only have a sore arm. This year it was sore and itchy.

DH and I got our high-dose (for seniors) flu shot today and got the latest Covid vaccine at the same time. The Covid shot was in our left arm and flu in the right, same as last year. No arm pain so far. Feeling a little sleepy but I just need to get up and do something physical!

My husband and I received the Moderna Covid and the RSV immunizations this morning at Costco. So far so good.

If there’s a Costco nearby, the pharmacist said that they offer all brands.

Our local Costco has both Pfizer and Moderna, they just got the Moderna in stock last week, but the pharmacist told me that they have much more Pfizer vaccine than Moderna.

Okay - woke up with a very sore arm - but it has now dissipated after about 5 hours. Otherwise nothing else to report...

I have to get mine on a Friday so I can go through all reactions on the weekend. I always end up exhausted and feverish. That's happened with all covid vaccines and Shingrix.

I don’t have a Costco locally unfortunately. However a new search last night shows it’s now *supposedly* available at my grocery pharmacy. So yay!

I've been alright with all of my Covid shots so far, but DH always has to plan on at least a full day of not feeling up to par (low grade fever and fatigue, requiring naps). He's retired, so it doesn't have to be on Friday - he just can't plan anything for a day or two following Covid shot.

I'm going in 2 hrs so expecting to feel punky for the rest of the day. Better punky for a day than infected!

I have a sore left arm from the Covid shot yesterday. The right arm is very slightly sore from the flu shot. No other reactions.

A recent report from the CDC, based on the 2022 National Health Interview Survey, reveals that individuals aged 35 to 49 are more likely than other age groups to have experienced or be currently experiencing long COVID. Among those with current symptoms, at the time of the survey 4.7% of people in the 35 to 49 age group reported ongoing long COVID symptoms, compared to 3.8% of 50- to 64-year-olds and 2.7% of 18- to 34-year-olds.

I chewed two Pepto Bismol for my nausea and drank a large glass of Pedialyte for the dizziness. Unexpected side effects from high dose flu shot lasted 3-4 hours.

That's how it has worked with all my Covid shots, as well. My husband, on the other hand, has very minimal side effects.

Interesting how different people respond to the various vaccines. I had the high dose flu shot and had no symptoms at all, just a sore arm which, of course, is expected.
