    As someone who got the flu and covid vaccine at the same time, I definitely don’t recommend it

    anecdotal, and its worth pointing out that if you had covid or the flu within 3 month previous to getting shots, the shots can cause a slight reaction making you ‘feel sick’, this is likely what most people who say “the flu shot made me sick” are experiencing.

      No kidding it’s anecdotal; I literally shared an anecdote.

      I know what an immune response from a vaccine feels like. Doing both at once can definitely cause a stronger immune response than from one alone.

      As someone who had a strong immune response from the covid vaccine alone, getting both at once was significantly worse.

      For me it felt like I got hit by a truck on my way to the hospital for a severe flu the entire day after I got the vaccines.
