Pin cushion

It's that time of year, when the medical profession want to use me as target practice. In other words, it's annual vaccination time.  Yesterday I had a flu injection. Tomorrow it will be the covid one and, as all good things come in threes, I'm getting part 2 of my shingles vaccination in a few weeks' time. I'd better not drink any fluids or I'll look like this....

A good test for your immune system then!
I had my flu injection on Friday and am feeling a little groggy now. Perhaps I wasn't totally recovered from my holiday cold.

I'm about to book flu+covid, I've been getting both together (one in each arm) ever since the first covid one, and that's gone well so far...

Yes, it may be that your immune system was already low from the cold.

They used to do both together here, but now the GPs just do the flu one and tou have to go to a chemist to get the covid one.
