Mrs D went for her 4th last week. On one through three she was quite "ill" afterwards, this time she just had a vaguely achey arm.

I wonder if that's indicative of anything.

I've just had a date for number 4. I have no idea what make they're chucking in there anymore?

I haven't been bad on any of the covid jabs, but the last flu jab I had knocked me for 6 and I had to have a week off work I was so shit!! So, I'm in no hurry to have a flu jab this year.

Had Pfizer for the first 3 then Moderna Spike booster thingummy for the recent one. Had the flu vax recently too.

They've all given me a sore arm and a day or two feeling miserable....but not as miserable as I'd be with flu or covid. :thumbup:

Just been for my Pfizer number 4 - well, this morning!!

Was a bit nervous as she said that it's a bit different to account for new strains?? Anyway - going through the questions and info stuff, she seemed very surprised that I haven't had any symptoms from any of the 3 jabs, and virtually none from the two bouts of Covid that I'm aware of (well, the first I realised I'd had it from the lack of smell and taste!!)

Anyway. Had the jab a bit before 11am and so far, just tired, which I have been for weeks!! LOL

Crossing fingers that's all it is :D :D

Article a few days ago suggested there are 300+ variations around the world.

The 'formula' for annual flu jabs is adjusted every year to deal with the most likely variants.

Oh totally. I think each vaccine I've had has been different. A bit more confused this time because it's not on the paperwork as Pfizer :roll:

The first flu jab I had at about 32 wiped me out for a week, so I didn't have any after that until I was in rehab at the end of 2020 - on the phone to my brother when they came round to offer to put me on the list and he said go on. No reaction at all

Maybe it's a case of less sense less feeling :angelic-green: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, my doc didn't offer it. But I was supposed to have the fourth one in March to keep the pass sanitare for work - since I was off work and not exactly mobile, I didn't get it.

So I went to the pharmacie with all my certs and asked if I could have it - Had to wait two week (maybe only ten days) so not unhappy with that :D

And I feel better now - you've got a few months on me, so I don't feel old now :D :D :D

Had Covid No 5 a few weeks ago (I am both old and 'vulnerable'), along with a flu jab. No problems, barely felt it, and had forgotten it within 24 hours.

Ditto. All these people who complain of a sore arm or whatever need a nice little dose of Covid or Flu to restructure their expectations. Idiots.

I'm on #4:
The first two Pfizers three weeks apart in April '21. After the first jab he asked if I had any questions....
Me: "Yes, What's the cube of 27?" (19,683.. memorize it, then ya have it ready next time someone says "any questions?")
Booster on Sept 23rd '21
Updated booster* on 8th Sept '22. Got a flu jab at the same time. Asked the bloke if he could get both needles in the same hole.

*I was gonna get the same booster I had the first time, then they announced updated version in a few weeks so I waited. That prevented an extra hole from having 3 booster jabs.

A fortnight ago, I had my 4th Covid jab along with a flu one. To date I've had 2 AstraZeneca, 1 Pfizer, 1 Moderna and one dose of Covid, all without any symptoms, side effects or even a sore arm. I feel cheated.

TBF, I felt similar!! But are 24 hours of headaches and feeling a bit rubbish, I'm gonna blame the vaccine!! LOL TBF, it's almost certainly some other stuff I'm sorting out, but hey - I'll blame the vaccine instead!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you don't feel meh after the vaccines you're immune to them. Scientific fact. :D

In that case, it's a good job I had this one as the previous ones had no effect (nor did the actual virus!). If this is the uprated version and it really did make me feel rubbish ( and that wasn't the other stuff) then maybe I would be more susceptible to the current version :o LOL

Stop injecting your selves with this shit and just except death as your morality!

If we all treat death as something we need to trick all the time we won't be able to live due to overpopulation!

You can't have your cake and eat it no matter what you do! so just eat it, as much as possible!

That's very public spirited of you :thumbup:

Have you mentioned it to the Government, might be a great way of reducing spending. We can close all the hospitals so people die to basic commonplace injuries and disease get the average age down into the 40s and have a nice pot of unclaimed pensions funds available to spend as well :D
