I am going for this years flu jab tomorrow. The lady who made my appointment asked me if I'd had a covid booster jab within the last seven days. I haven't, of course. When I said that I was under the impression that you could have both together, one in each arm, as was suggested earlier by Boris and his cronies, she chuckled and said "No, that's not the way it works. They cannot be given within a week of each other".

I had heard that too. Going to organise about seven things including flu jab  for my Dad next week. Should be interesting.

Yet the conversation I had this morning after service ringing was that all four ringers older than me were having flu vaccinations and covid boosters at the same appointment. My parents will be doing the same.

Well I'm booked in for both on Wed afternoon due to job, will report back if my arms still work

So......misinformation from the government or, more likely, misinformation from the stupid bint who I spoke to.

My mum is going in this week to have one in each arm at the same time...

I know here in Brakkers, they are not doing it at the same time.  I wonder if it makes a different in which chinkyflu vaccine you are getting?

Went for the jab and asked which piece of misinformation was the correct piece of misinformation. Apparently, shortly after my appointment was made, last Thursday, advice was changed to say you could have both at once.

My neighbour is a ward sister at our local hospital , she told me NOT to have the flu jab and the covid jab too close together , just in case it overwhelmed the immune system , seems logical to me , but WTF do I know 

[Rangie]

Got a text message from our surgery a couple of hours ago that the Flu vaccine is apparently in short supply but should be available in October. Also just read that dog/cats booster jabs are being rationed in various parts of the UK due to supply issues , will people now be queueing up outside their vet surgeries ?

[STEMO]

My dog hasn't even had the first two covid jabs yet, so she won't need the booster for a good while.

but WTF do I know

More than anyone with a managerial position at the NHS

I was fine on the day of my flu jab (Monday), then yesterday afternoon I felt like shit for a while. Last night the injection site was very red and hot, tonight it has got bigger and is warm, blotchy and itchy.

Step daughter had 'flu jab on Monday and tells me her arm hurt more this time around than it did when she had it last year and today could hardly pick anything up with that arm.She's had the two doses of the virus jab and isn't due a booster[using the 6 month time scale between second virus jab and a booster shot of it]until sometime in January.
