the Super Bowl halftime show was pretty good, they should consider continuing the strategy of getting people who aren’t totally washed

      We are considering it for the future for sure. We’re both young though, and usually the seasonal flu is not that bad. There’s a particularly nasty strain this year, which is why suddenly it’s a real health issue for us too. I’m pretty sure we don’t qualify for free flu shots, but we can definitely see if it’s affordable.

      If I may ask, did you ever suffer from any side effects? I think the flu shot is a good thing in theory, but the day after the second Covid shot I had high fever and muscle pain (it happens to a few select lucky people), and the first booster shot was even worse, so I’m reluctant to try another vaccine that’s likely closely related.

        I never had a big problem with a COVID shot or a flu shot until the time I decided to do both on the same day. That kicked my ass bigtime for a couple days. Since then I always schedule them a couple weeks apart. Might help if you had a similar issue.

          Thanks for the suggestion! Sadly it was ‘only’ the two Covid shots. I’ve had combined vaccinations in the past and it’s never been a problem. Something cotained in Moderna’s finest specifically seems to have made my immune system extremely unhappy. That’s why I was wondering about the rather similar flu shot.
