FLU SHOT TIME......

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

I'm going to get my flu shot and Covid shot Friday morning. I always have a bad reaction to any of these shots, shingles, pneumonia, too. I'm having both together to get it over with.

I'm usually sick and most of the time in bed for almost a week.

Does anyone else get reactions to vaccines?

i might feel achy but that's about it.

i space my out. usually one per week. (FLu & Covid)

i get my flu in October, so i am covered for the Winter/Early Spring.

just and FYI: i went to my GP and she ordered measles immunity bloodwork.

if you were born between 1958-1968 you should have your immunity level tested.

especially if u have young/newborn grandchildren.

she sited the measles outbreak in Texas, i am on the east coast.

We got our flu vaccine a couple of weeks ago for that reason, @Shanus, I react badly to most vaccines and avoid all but the essentials. (flu, pneumonia, and shingles). I'm usually down for several days after the innoculation.

The only vaccine that has ever bothered me at all was the Covid one...we got the first two shots about a month apart back in 2020, and both of us felt a little "out of sorts" for a couple days, but not bad.

I get a flu shot every year, and except for a little soreness at the injection site for a day or so, no problems. DH never gets a flu shot--and has never had the flu, or Covid. I had 2 very mild cases of Covid, one about 3 months after the 2nd vaccine, another a year later. No Covid vax since the 1st two for either of us.

These vacines are so full of heavy metals and toxins. They do bodies more harm than good. There are so hany natural and homeopathic ways to gaurd against the flu and help get over it quicker. I would suggest you research quercetin, NAC, and Oscillococcinum. I could elllaborate alot on this topic but I don't want to cause a debate. Hopefully though , these suggestions help someone. .

@Shanus

Sorry to hear you are really impacted by shots. The only one that gives me a totally down day is the COVID shot.

Last year DH and I had updated shots for pneumonia, shingles and RSV....he got a little tired the next day but was normal the next day. I was asleep for the next day and barely eating.

I hope you have every luxury surrounding you for the next round in bed for the week. Great that you are taking care of your health !

@Shanus The only vaccine that I felt out of sorts with for about 24 hours was the first and second Covid shots. The flu shots have never bothered me. My arm was very sore after the Pneumonia and Shingles shots. Everyone as you know is different Your reaction sounds very uncomfortable for sure.

Good for you. Florida is already having a quiet outbreak because they don't let people know. I know of several people who have gotten Covid already and one of them has been sick for a month.

Lots of people are starting to get sick with all the weather changes and schools being back in session.

I second @hkrgrl 's recommendation and add in my own GenX peeps. We had to get a booster for college and we were told that was lifetime immunity. It is NOT.

I was tested for titers five years ago to get my pharmacy license and I was not immune from measles anymore.

Please ask for the simple blood test and get a third MMR shot if you don't want to contract measles or spread it.

I'm usually tired and feel a little yucky after shots that's why I schedule them so the day after I have nothing to do. I haven't had a Covid shot in probably 3 years but I do get a flu shot every year.
