Been knocked for six went for flu jab Thursday they also gave me my covid booster same time
I'd never have two at the same time again completely wiped me out been in bed shivering for most of yesterday just up for work now still not feeling right
My advice have one at a time
Re: Latest jabs
2Presumably it's different for NHS employees, but it seems to me that most won't be offered both at the same time. Flu jabs being given by GPs and covid at vaccination centres.UPTHEPORT wrote: October 15th, 2022, 4:56 am Been knocked for six went for flu jab Thursday they also gave me my covid booster same time

3No mate I was called to my GP and the wife I personally think to vaccines at same time is too much
Re: Latest jabs
4Agree Jim. I’ve had a thickly cough for three weeks. I told them about it when I had my Covid booster on Thursday. Been feeling shit ever since. I will be leaving my winter flu jab for several weeks.UPTHEPORT wrote: October 15th, 2022, 4:56 am Been knocked for six went for flu jab Thursday they also gave me my covid booster same time

5Obviously depends on your GP then. Had my flu jab with mine, but they said they will not be doing the covid one at the surgery.UPTHEPORT wrote: October 15th, 2022, 9:42 am No mate I was called to my GP and the wife I personally think to vaccines at same time is too much
Re: Latest jabs
6I had both of mine at the same time and was fine. Most people I have spoken to were quite rough. I have no idea why I had had all my jabs quite early as I'm only 44 and dont really have any health issues.

8I’d also heard of a few people who had the winter Covid vaccine at the same time as their flu jab and were knocked for six.
I had my latest Covid booster a week ago (Pfizer, it protects against both the Alpha and Omicron variants). I got a heavy cold a few days after (may have been a coincidence). Chose not to get the flu jab just yet and will wait a month for that.
Wishing you all well.

9I'm NOT over 50 but want a booster does anyone know how I might get one? happy to pay if required...the NHS Wales website is useless.
Re: Latest jabs
10I’m in the same position except I do a little bit of volunteering running errands for and sitting with elderly people, so I booked mine online and ticked the box which asked ‘do you work with vulnerable people’ and got an appointment straight away. I guess if you visit or work with anyone who is elderly/vulnerable you could do the same?CathedralCounty wrote: October 21st, 2022, 10:39 am I'm NOT over 50 but want a booster does anyone know how I might get one? happy to pay if required...the NHS Wales website is useless.
