Some reason other than your gut feeling? I had my third booster and influenza vaccine at the same time - no problems, but I generally don't get reactions beyond just feeling rotten for a day or two.

Incorrect, it is a "recombinant" vaccine, and it uses modified DNA, as opposed to COVID vaccine which is "messenger" RNA.
Messenger RNA technology has been in development for decades, but the first mRNA vaccines approved for use in the United States were the COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna
