Novavax, if it works for you, gave me no vaccine hangover and I haven't tested positive since (1 year out)

Iirc I asked if I could do both AND the tetanus booster (had an off-custody week) and they were like DUDE NO WHY. Kinda wish I’d just demanded it full gangsta.

Last week I got the COVID, flu, and pneumonia vaccines all on the same day. I felt like poop the next 2 days, but I figured I'd just do em all at once and get it over with. It still sucked though... Best of luck to ya!

An RN told me to drink a bottle of Gatorade or Powerade (zero sugar) after you get the shots. It helps so much.

The flu Vax comes in nasal spray you can do at home. At a later date but still efficient??

Maybe this is the key. Get them separately.

Come to think of it…I DID get them separately last time, because the kid & I did drive thru flu shots. The covid one still knocked me out for a few days.

I feel you. Been told to space my vaccinations out because of the fatigue issues you mentioned.

have you tried the allergy meds trick? either take Benadryl as soon as you get home or a non-drowsy antihistamine beforehand, it’s a complete game changer

Getting them at the same time splits the immune system response anyway - best to do them separately, if possible!
