More than a month after federal officials recommended a new version of the COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot. One expert calls the numbers “abysmal.”
I did flu, COVID, and Tdap this year at the same time since I can’t remember the last time I got a tetanus booster. Would make sense to have a combo shot. I’m not paranoid about vaccines, so if I’m getting one, I may as well get the other.
That triple shot combo was a motherfucker though for the next two days after.
I did the new covid booster and the flu vaxx at the same time and just had a slight fever for a day. Way better than the first and second covid shots (I have had 5 so far). I think it gets easier as time goes on. I did have 4 shots at the same time (tdap, hep b, measles, and rubella) early this year for immigration purposes and was surprised I wasn’t hit so bad; but I did need to rest and not do much for 2 days.
I wonder if we need to roll this into the annual flu shot.

At least near me that’s how they’re offering it, just as two shots.
Basically a sign that says “it’s flu shot season, stop in for your flu shot and COVID booster”.
Probably not a bad idea. I don’t know if the storage requirements for them are the same though.
