Fall means it’s time for just about everybody to get up to date on their flu and COVID-19 vaccines – and a lot of older adults also need protection against another risky winter virus, RSV.
Yes, you can get your flu and COVID-19 shots at the same time. Don’t call them boosters — they’re not just another dose of last year’s protection. The coronavirus and influenza are escape artists that constantly mutate to evade your body’s immune defenses, so both vaccines are reformulated annually to target newer strains.
I never even felt the moderna shots. Those must’ve been the sharpest needles to ever hit me.
Each time has been the same, I’m down for a day. I don’t feel siiiick…just…off. like I can’t shake the morning fog no matter how much coffee I drink, so I just call it a catday and stay in bed for 30 hours.
