Yeah, but you didn't quote the most relevant part of my post:

Apologies.  I quoted only the portion relevant to my PCP's advice and my decision.

Got mine last Thursday, the tenth for me.  When I booked at Duane-Reade/Walgreens the week before, in NY, I was told they required a doctor's prescription which he sent through.  In the event, just a week later, the pharmacist said they no longer required it but patients of any age, or their guardians, must "attest" that they have a special need for coverage.  This is the three-ring circus preventive healthcare in America is being reduced to.

I’ll keep getting the shots as long as they’re available.  Fortunately I live in a state that still believes in public health.

If only it were limited to healthcare….

Got the most recent flu and covid shot, separate weeks.

Flu shot was no reaction.  Covid Shot was low-grade fever (100.8), easily managed w/Tylenol, for about 24 hours.

I got the COVID, flu, and RSV shots on Monday afternoon.  I felt pretty strong headache, body ache, and nausea symptoms from Monday night through Tuesday evening.  But now, Wednesday morning, I’m feeling 97% normal.  

I felt like I needed to rush to get the COVID shot while I could.  CVS let me schedule all three shots online and I was in-and-out in less than ten minutes.

I received the flu shot on Friday afternoon and the COVID shot on Monday afternoon. My PCP clinic didn’t have the COVID vaccine stocked yet. At Walgreens, they asked why I needed it, since they’re prioritizing high-risk populations. I told the pharmacy tech about my underlying condition and got the shot—no problem. And I'm in TexAss, where they think GOD will save us by praying.

I had no symptoms from the flu shot other than a tender arm for about a day. The COVID shot, though, gave me a low-grade fever, body aches, and a headache that lasted around 36 hours.

I went in with strep throat the other day.  They had me mask up and tested me for the flu and Covid, lastly they looked in my throat and did a strep test lol.  I told them it was strep, I’ve had it before.  I was out of town and they mentioned my out of pocket had been met for the year.  Were they just wanting to make a few extra bucks?

Got the flu shot and COVID 19 latest booster.  Had a low grade fever after 24 hours, but hardly worth mentioning, as it did not last.  Had the usual shoulder pain.
