Last year, I got the flu, covid and RSV vaccines all at the same time, in two arms. Five minutes after driving away from the pharmacy, I started to feel very spacey. It lasted no more than 10 minutes, but feeling spacey while driving is not good.
So this year, I separated the flu and covid vaccines by a couple of weeks. I sat in the waiting room for 15 minutes after each vaccine. I did fine with the flu, but the covid vaccine hit me like a ton of bricks. I've been getting boosters every 6 months since the vaccines came out, except for the past 12 months. I hadn't had a booster since June '24. This year's covid vaccine hit me worse than the first year's version. Fatigue, sore armpit, chills for 3-4 days.
