Having combined covid/flu jab next week at local chemist. Had covid in August. We test because have a friend recovering from cancer and a pregnant daughter.
Had my Covid & Flu jabs on Saturday, I had no side effects at all, not even sore arms. My husband's arm with the flu jab was sore all day and he did feel tired and achy for about 36 hours after the jab.
Whilst having the jabs at our GP surgery, I noticed posters on the doors which stated that anyone registered at the practice could have a flu jab. It seems crazy that free Covid jabs can't be given to anyone who wants one and that RSV jabs are limited to only a few groups.
There have been warnings of a 'tripledemic' this winter and the public health advice is to stay at home if you are ill.
Had both last week, no probs afterwards, but there were scenes in the chemist’s as they had advertised a walk in but at the same time had booked appointments. Led to some hilarious friction, including the memorable line “Let him go first, his next appointment is with the undertaker”.
Tested positive again for Covid today got to be the 5th time now 😩 Maybe travelling from London to Munich to Dublin to London to Leeds to London on planes and trains last week didn’t help
I had both flu and Covid jabs in my left arm on Friday. Followed it up with shingles booster and a combined tetanus/diphtheria/polio jab on Monday evening.
Sore arms for a while but no side effects and I managed a drive up to Norfolk yesterday.
There have been at least 18,000 flu deaths and over 19,500 Covid-19 deaths over the last two winters.
The flu and COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of serious illness in colder months.

The UK Health Security Agency today infections are on the increase and official advice is people should not go to work or school if they suspect they've got it.
For those feeling unwell he said: "If you are showing symptoms of flu or COVID-19 such as a high temperature, cough, and feeling tired and achy, try to limit your contact with others, especially those who are vulnerable."
The NHS is asking people to isolate if possible as the fears that the XEC new strain might become the predominant variety. They said: “While isolation rules are no longer mandatory, you should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for five days after the day you took your test”, and to give a wide berth to those most at risk for a full ten days after a positive result.
About time too, we've been a joke around Europe for a lack of monitoring. Now lets follow this up by offering everyone over 50 with a free Covid and flu jab if they truly want to protect the NHS.

We are a joke Peter and I have just realised that the survey was last year. The UKHSA isn't fit for purpose and can't claim to be keeping the virus under surveillance if it limits it only to those hospitalised.
UKHSA senior personnel have come under severe criticism at the Covid Inquiry, for their downplaying of infection protection controls and refusal to accept how the virus is transmitted. The a*se covering from some like Dr Lisa Ritchie is breath-taking, no pun intended.
Both flu and Covid vaccs booked for this Sunday 19th. Will be my 8th Covid! Pfizer for the first 6 then Moderna. Expecting a sore arm(s) and maybe a little bit of fatigue...normally gone in 24 hours.
My wife and I had both the covid and flu jabs the week before last. She now had covid and is meant to be working from home but isn't so bad that she can't attend a couple of online meetings today. I've told her that I do want her coming anywhere near me. Not because I don't want to catch covid but because I don't want her disrupting my enjoyment of the cricket and racing today!
Having mine done on 17th - covid but they said I can decide to do flu with it on the day if I wish. I suppose that I will for the first time, now that I’m over 50. It can only help. I don’t believe in any side effects to either.

No news yet of such a similar survey this year, despite SARS Cov-2 being just as prevalent as ever, with no sign of becoming seasonal like Flu.
It is still killing people and causing long term damage according to the thousands of studies across the world.

These scientists should hang their heads in shame.
