OK the vaccines kicked my ass this weekend. Shingrix plus Pfizer bivalent C-19 wasn't a good time. I'm still feeling it.
Just both at once? Yeah, not one of my wiser choices, as it turned out. All weekend I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. Feverish, body aches, malaise, miserable, dizzy/lightheaded, nauseated.
So get your shots. Just not right at the same time. Space 'em out over a few weeks.
@Impious_Jade Oof. Was that your first Shingrix shot? If so, be sure to get the second one by itself. It’s a doozy. I normally don’t get more than a sore arm from vaccines, but the second Shingrix caused me to miss a day of work. (Still far better than getting shingles, though!)
@sanau Nah it was my 2nd. So at least it's over with, LOL!
I tend to have a reaction after some vaccinations, so this isn't anything new for me. Neither is it something bad enough that I'd avoid a vaccine, because I know the alternative is way worse.
