I got my third Fauci ouchie on Friday

As a teacher with a heart condition, I qualified as "high risk."

Went to local drug store, got the flu & Covid at the same time.

Boy, was I ever sore in upper half of my body! Wiped me out for most of Saturday, but was feeling fine Sunday morning.

Definitely happy for the extra precaution. Several of my students this semester have come down with Covid.

Sore arm for a couple of days, very sleepy for about four days. Glad to have it.

I get my booster tomorrow!

I can’t imagine being a teacher nowadays stuck in a room full of people for several hours and you don’t know who’s vaccinated, who isn’t, who might be sick, etc. Plus the idiot anti-maskers. You sure have to protect yourself!

I went last week, after my wellness check, but I was 4 days early. So I made an appointment. PCP doesn't want me to get them at the same time, or I would! So I'll get my booster first and then flu shot in a few weeks.

So glad you got them both! A few sore days ain't nothing compared to getting sick.

We had a big line at the vax clinic. NM is doing a good job in fighting the pandemic under Gov Lujan Grisham's leadership. I want to see covid-19 in the rearview mirror.

Got my Flu shot mid September getting my Pfizer booster in a couple of days....quality by age.

I will never ever understand anti vaccine types, especially health care folks who really should know better. I have had zero side affects for the first two shots, assume it will be the same with the booster.

I keep thinking Thank God there was no Social Media when the Polio, Measles, etc vaccines emerged.

Didn't have any side effects other than a sore upper arm for a couple of days.
