Sep 2023

I had all Moderna vax/boosters until the latest one 2 weeks ago. I opted to get pfizer since it was the first available in my area. I had the same reaction as all previous Covid shots. Sore arm, light chills, light headache and just felt icky for 36 hours. I got the flu shot at the same time. Only reaction I have ever had with the flu shot is a sore arm. Chose to wait a bit before RSV vax which is scheduled for tomorrow.

Wishing you a safe and wonderful trip!

Edited to add: Husband, as usual, had no arm soreness and no side effects of any kind with the Pfizer and flu shot per usual.
