She had flu jab at the same time as well. Middle son has had all three with nothing more than a sore arm; I've only had two so far with only sore arm to report. Booked in for my third on Friday after work. Last time when I had the second I had a race the next day which seemed unaffected.

sallykate Nov 2022 7:41pm, 1 Nov 2022 10,583 posts	0 sallykate That's great Tim. Even the "common" side effects are only about 1 in 10 - so the majority don't experience anything.
HappyG(rrr) Nov 2022 1:31pm, 4 Nov 2022 44,512 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) No side effects so far - 20hrs - more bruising on flu side than Covid side. Mine was "Quadrivalent" apparently ! G
Alice the Camel Nov 2022 1:38pm, 4 Nov 2022 12,430 posts	0 Alice the Camel No reaction at all to the Covid booster 2 weeks ago (Pfizer) - I didn’t even feel it go in! Had my flu jab on Tuesday, arm still sore and a large area of redness around the injection site.
larkim Nov 2022 1:40pm, 4 Nov 2022 19,521 posts	0 larkim 4:55 this afternoon for mine (not sure if I'll get flu at the same time), hopefully no aftereffects; none expected as I didn't have them last time! At least it means I can dodge out of work a bit early!
larkim Nov 2022 11:10am, 5 Nov 2022 19,525 posts	0 larkim Got double jabbed last night as planned, surprised to get Pfizer (so far I'd had Az, Az, Moderna) and felt fine. Set off on my date night run with better half and felt wobbly after about 3-4 miles (at wife's pace, which is about 2 min / mile slower than my usual easy pace) so took a short walking break and ploughed on to 7 miles. Felt a bit crap but after about 30 minutes after stopping felt ok again. Good night's sleep, sore covid upper arm and not quite 100% but I'll survive like a brave little soldier 🤣
Tim of Fife Nov 2022 8:14pm, 6 Nov 2022 3,861 posts	0 Tim of Fife Still count my blessings daily. Genuinely! Don't get move along by police for sitting on a bench. Don't risk a fine for going to Edinburgh on the train. Don't have to shiver outside with my snack because the cafe is take-away. Don't have to fist bump, but can hug again. Don't have to mask to go into shop for a pint of milk.
