My wife and I got both shots at the same time a month ago; no after effects at all.
As a bonus the pharmacy (Hy-Vee Supermarkets) had a deal that every flu shot would give the recipient a 20¢/gallon discount on the next fill-up at a Casey or Hy-Vee gas station. Neither shot cost us anything except about a five minute wait.
The flu shots saved us $3.72 on the 9.3 gallons I squeezed in today for the 323 miles that I have driven about town since the last fill-up a month ago.

Yeah same here last year, no issues but this year, thinking... pass on covid.

Last year I did the same thing and had a really bad reaction. This year I had them separately two weeks apart and had very mild reactions to both of them.

I also got an RSV shot at my PCP’s office per his advice. He said RSV can be really bad for seniors like me who are over 75 years old.

My wife and I got both Flu and Covid shots about a month ago. She had no reaction except a sore arm. I felt awful the next day but was fine the following day and the arm was a little sore but glad we got them. We have spent some time with our granddaughter and it seems she brings a lot of junk home from daycare so we are just trying to be cautious.

Ten days ago I had the latest covid, flu, and shingles vax done. I had 2 in my right arm and 1 in the left, but do not remember the order. Both arms were sore, with the right arm remaining so for a few days. It was already sore and stiff as I am recovering from shoulder replacement surgery. No other reaction.

Boy, the last two words in your opening sentence sure change its meaning.

Did what may have been the last ride of the season yesterday, with temps in the 40s. 20 miles of paved and gravel road from Rochester, VT to the end of Bingo Brook Rd. in the Green Mt. National Forest. November rides are sometimes possible, but it’s not every year we see temps get much above 45 in that month. Over the years I’ve gone from envying those who can ride year-round to appreciating the break to put in more time at the gym and hopefully do some Nordic skiing. Gotta be philosophical, I guess.

Guessing you're referring to one of the 4,255 posts before yours. (It would help to quote the post you have in mind.)

That is genius! With that insight I'm now guessing it was my post he was referring to. Since then, I did get the flu shot and I did pass on having the covid shot, so... I could get covid and... pass on covid.

Thanks for clarifying. Sure does change the meaning! I looked back about 15 posts but managed to miss that one.

None of the vaccines would have prevented this cold I'm dealing with. Really filled-up my chest and cough drop lozenges have been a savior.

There is always a downside when dealing with 'people'. I decline on wearing a mask everywhere.

I wear one because why the hell not. Same with bike helmets.

Interesting! I had no clue, but...AI says, about 4% of Americans report wearing a mask in stores or businesses "all or most of the time".

Before I retired, I worked retail, and get bronchitis two or three times a year. Big Box DIY, and the commercial guys didn’t take time off even when they were sick.

r.e. bold -- I've seen the slow-motion playbacks of the crap that exists one's mouth when coughing or sneezing and out of respect for the other individual's space, I wear a mask when feeling off and am coughing or sneezing

When I feel sick (almost never), I do not leave my house. No mask required in an empty house. Others should do the same to reduce transmission of illnesses. I am not anti-mask and have a large box of them for use when appropriate, which I deem as 'not necessary' everywhere I travel.

Ditto- all the companies I've worked for, the number of employees they had and all their children... I've had so many colds and flus (that I was expected to work through), always thinking there's none left I haven't been exposed to already but I get the yearly vaccine just on the off chance it does any good... and a box of masks cuz of the covid scare and couldn't shop in a grocery store without being a weirdo without one...

Not sure how good the covid vaccine was. Here's a story you've never heard- I was on a bike ride, January 2019 before there was any vaccine for it, let alone available to persons 65 and older. Covid was already in the news but hadn't hit us yet. Stories where about people getting it in Italy as I remember, cuz Chinese vacation there. At that time the US was already, under Trump, closed to Chinese vacationers. I did a bike ride where I saw a guy with a bike at my turnaround that had offloaded his bike and was getting ready for the ride. It was a steel Bianchi with gold around the top of the seat tube that was fairly unique and memorable but otherwise the traditional Bianchi colors. Nice triple and I had liked it and I dropped by and commented on it... so, we rode rode a ways back, me on my return and him beginning his ride. Turned out he was an airplane pilot that flew a regular milk run from China to Anchorage. So, he was probably one of the first US citizens that was exposed to covid and got it, in China, and as he was recovering from it in a hospital, they didn't know what it was – actually before 2019. At the time we were talking about it, covid was already in the news cuz people in Italy were coming down with it because Chinese vacationers went there and brought it with them. So as you can imagine, with all the news, and what I knew about it, when the vaccine was available (I took Moderna) to those 65 and older I definitely was in line to get it and took every one that was recommended – four in all – and still got covid! So, that is why I passed on getting the covid shot this year.

Beautiful machine, thx for posting! (Wildwood #4226)

You're welcome.
It is a beauty. Takes 30mm tires, so it be a keeper as I get softer with age.

HA! Ask artificial intelligence to help understand cycling's sustainability issues and like me, you might be surprised when informed, e.g.

• Resource consumption for cyclists: A 2020 BikeRadar article notes that about three-quarters of cycling's greenhouse gas emissions are from producing the extra food required to "fuel" the cyclist, while the rest comes from manufacturing the bicycle. This means a cyclist's overall carbon footprint depends on the sustainability of their diet.

Cheers!

Asking computer algorithms for Truth, .... is like trusting politicians for Honesty. Always a bias, ... at best.

True... by such logic, day laborers are killing the planet with outrageous calorie consumption demands.

Trade-offs are necessary. Day laborers and the top 10% of earners and resource users are killing the planet. Elon's robots will eliminate such day labor tasks (and other human tasks), in his own estimation.
