I feel like I got a massive dose the last time and still never caught it so whatever I’m doing is best.
My arm is a bit swollen at the spot of in injection this time, and itches a little. I guess that’s my immune system putting out the brush fire before it can spread.
Shot #3 in the arm, along with a flu shot. Same arm in fact! Pharmacy was cranking - first shots, second shots, boosters, flu shots. I laminated my original card, so they gave me an extra card with just the booster listed.

My pharmacist said even though it was ok to get both, she didn’t recommend both at the same time. I wanted to know if I got any symptoms which thing was causing it. I’m going back next week for my flu shot.
That recommendation seems contrary to all the other ones that I’ve seen. Sounds like she is going off script there. I mean it’s not like she can base this on her vast experience.

Yeah she said she was going off script. But I would probably have done it anyway because I wanted to know if I got any symptoms from the booster.
Did she give any kind of reasoning?
Maybe the pharmacist could ‘tell’ he was a single guy, it’s Saturday night, might need a functional arm…

Not really. I mentioned that if I get sick I’d like to know which thing caused it and she concurred.
I have actually heard a few people say that they were sluggish for a couple of days after this year’s flu shot. Unlikely, but if that’s really the case I’d like to get any side effects from both vaccines over with at the same time.
My arm usually gets pretty sore from the flu shot but that’s it.
Do anti-vaxxers freak out about flu shots too?

Seems to me like if you get both at the same time then you could function as a 10G hotspot for a longer amount of time. Who could pass that up?

In general I agree with this, but since each shot is basically a one-off it doesn’t really matter.
You guys don’t have electronic copies?
Czech government created a smartphone app to store our vaccine data instead of making us carry a physical card.
THAT’S SOCIALISM

It’s state by state, California has a site with a QR code that you can import into Apple Health for example.
Yeah in Canada our cards have qr codes on the back and every indoor place scans them

So far it’s still province by province though. Still waiting on a uniform national system, ideally one that’s recognized in other countries as well. The EU is way ahead of everybody else on this. US will probably never have it. Canada hopefully soon.
