So Walgreens will let me get 4 vaccines at the same time

[TexasBushwhacker]

I'm inclined to do it, because if I'm going to feel like shit, I might as well get it over with. So if I get them this afternoon, will I feel rotten tonight, or will I be okay until tomorrow? For some reason, the Walgreens and CVS in Santa Fe don't have the vaccines, so I was going to get them in Albuquerque today since I'm going to a concert there tonight anyway.

The vaccines are:

Flu
COVID-19
Pneumonia
Shingrix #1

1. Warning I had three done in the same arm last year and I felt like shit .Edit to add I only got Covid and flu this year.

in same arm this year. They told me to waid a week for the third one.

2. I don't know I got flu and Covid shots the same time and felt OK except a really sore arm

4. Did The Same

But, got them in separate arms. I had next to no ill effects. The "flu arm" was the tiniest bit sensitive to the touch for several hours.
The other arm, nothing.

3. That's a Grand Slam!

5. I don't get any bad effects from the flu or Covid shots

But the Shingrix made me feel “off” for the rest of the afternoon.

6. Shingrix layed me really low for a few days

7. Maybe ask a doctor first?

8. I can't imagine 4 at once.

I have reacted to each one separately. Won't even do 2 together. I feel very weak,
sometimes have a vasovagal response and have to immediately lie down so I don't faint.
It passes usually by the next day, but I imagine additional shots would be multipliers so caution for me. 2weeks apart.
Good luck. YMMV.

9. I never get more than one at a time

That way I can know which vaccine affects me the most and what the symptoms are. Just my preference. Some people are more sensitive to the adjuvants than others.

10. You're brave. The sore arm doesn't bother me much and I've had no reactions to any EXCEPT

THE SHINGRIX. Both 1 and 2 hit me like a ton of bricks about 12 hours afterwards and for the next 2 or 3 days. Maybe try getting them as late as you can before the concert? Enjoy the concert and good luck.

12. The concert starts at 6

Doors open at 5. I was going to get the shots at 4.

14. For me, any reaction to vaccines has usually started 6-12...

…hours after getting them, generally toward the longer time span.

18. Well, I decided to wait until Monday for the vaccine

I'm volunteering at a film festival Monday and I want to feel my best. I'll get my vaccines afterwards. Tonight it's "Experience Hendrix"!

15. That window might be a big enough cushion and everyone is different.

For me, I’d hold off on the Shingrix. If not, when you wake up in the morning and feel like shit, it probably won’t be from partying, staying up late and listening to good music.

Again, enjoy the concert.

11. hold off on shingrix

I never felt bad after vaccines (other than a sore arm) until I got my Shingrix vaccine. The first one knocked me back a bit. The second one caused me to call out from work for a day.

13. If you find this reassuring, at the 2, 4 and 6 month well...

…baby visits, infants are usually given 4 vaccines that protect against 6 different illnesses.

At an immunization inservice some years ago, a pediatrician who was well regarded in immunology said his standard answer when he was asked how far apart vaccines should be given was “ 1/2 an inch.”

I get my COVID vaccine separately because it has usually laid me low for about 48 hours - achy all over, feel chilled, and temp 101-102. Just had the most recent “recipe,” and temp maxed at 101, less achy, and didn’t feel like I was carved out of ice. Arm hardly sore at all. The pharmacy tech who gave the shot said the most recent version was supposed to have milder side effects, and that proved to be true for me.

Have you ever done 4 at the same time before?

16. Shingrix is no joke. I was sick and freakishly cold

the entire night. I’d do that one separately. Going to a concert tonight? Are you sure?

17. Bad idea

Its not just an errand. You want to make sure you are actually raising immunity. Remember, Walgreens is a business, not a health care provider. Check with a doctor.
