Covid and Flu booster (2024)

How have people found the Covid and flu boosters this year? I have mine booked for next week and I’m wondering if I need to book some time off work?

Yep, had mine 3 weeks ago, flu + covid; 5 minutes, they took my NHS number and blood pressure then one jab in each arm, easy peasy. :ok_hand:

Did you have any side effects? I’m wondering whether I should take the next day off?

No side effects, quite used to it now, it’s a good idea to pre-load on paracetamol (I always do [2 tablets]) b4 getting the jabs. :pill:

Hi KateKat,

I’ve had both of mine and no side effects at all, so good luck.

Thank you, great tip!

Thank you! That’s very reassuring.

Getting my flu jab today all being well - last time I got covid & flu together I was quite unwell after it - didn’t get covid one last year but got the flu jab as normal with no issues

I had mine a couple of weeks ago and, remarkably, didn’t have any adverse reactions. Got the usual aching arm, but nothing too untoward.
