MODERATORS
I used to get both shots on the same day, but I've started spacing them out by a week. Might be a result of getting older, but the last time I got them together, I felt run down for about a day and a half.
It could also be the variant(s) that particular year. At least that's what I tell myself, as I, too, am getting older. The flu vaccine always makes me feel a little crappy for the rest of the day, but this year's COVID booster (Moderna) put me out of commission for 24 hours and hurt at the injection site for a few days.
Moderna gave me a massively swollen arm for a week three years ago. Don't know if it was the Covid variant or Moderna. I've only had Pfizer since then. I wonder what it will be this year, the German government defunded the institute that was developing the vaccine.
the razor blade throat covid variant, knocked me out for the whole week last month.
