      As someone who got the flu and covid vaccine at the same time, I definitely don’t recommend it

      anecdotal, and its worth pointing out that if you had covid or the flu within 3 month previous to getting shots, the shots can cause a slight reaction making you ‘feel sick’, this is likely what most people who say “the flu shot made me sick” are experiencing.

        No kidding it’s anecdotal; I literally shared an anecdote.

        I know what an immune response from a vaccine feels like. Doing both at once can definitely cause a stronger immune response than from one alone.

        As someone who had a strong immune response from the covid vaccine alone, getting both at once was significantly worse.

        For me it felt like I got hit by a truck on my way to the hospital for a severe flu the entire day after I got the vaccines.

      I got both at the same time last October.

      Nothing happened to me, at all. I went to work just 1 hour afterwards (took a long lunch break just in case something happened) but it was a waste. Felt perfectly fine.
