    flu , covid and new to me this year pneumonia vax all on board this morning....
    Just a heads up...don't  do the flu/covid and shingles same day. Do them maybe 2 weeks or more apart.
    All 3 the same day can make people very sick for a couple of days.
    Shingles? My goodness; how old are you?

    Just kidding; I had my first one about six weeks ago and need to do the second soon. It's the only shot that ever made me feel ill (though not for very long). I won't be mixing the next one with anything else...
    I’m 35 and got shingles earlier this year. I got off incredibly lucky in that I noticed and got a diagnosis and treatment early enough. If treated within the first three days, your experience is significantly less shitty. That said, I was definitely regretting not having had the shot.

    did flu/covid same day last year with no issues other than sore arms. can report same this year thus far.

    did shingles a few years ago after hearing about my sil experience actually getting shingles...

    Flu/covid on its own should be easy for most people with maybe some soreness. Same for shingles on its own. Getting all 3 at once is problematoc for a couple of days.
    I had both shingles shots a few years ago and am glad I did after hearing and seeing what some people go through
