Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

[perchance dreamer]

Facing the first winter since the vaccines started without one, first turned down in spring so very much unprotected (vaccine wise) bedbound and unable to find a service so far that will come to me even paying for it myself, at a complete loss of what to do, mum contacted ICB board and they have confirmed in not eligible and my gps are refusing, the situation is terrible in the uk

So sorry you're having a hard time getting vaccinated, @Beth. I hope something works out for you.

Still recommended and free for all here in Australia, though not compulsory.

I just had a booster on Monday, and it has knocked me about a bit. Nothing too serious, but I have had better weeks.

I got the updated Novavax vaccine today at CVS in Austin. They took me as a walk in. So far, no real side effects other than sleepiness. I'm glad to have gotten it since I'll be traveling soon.

I’m going to get my Covid vaccine next week and then flu vaccine 2 weeks later hopefully. I didn’t want to get them together as I worried they could affect my immune system too much.

Anyone here get both done together?

I've had them both together several times, one in each arm. No more reaction than I usually get to one on its own. Usually just a bit feverish for a day or so and sore arm.

I had both at the same time on different arms. The flu-shot arm was a bit sore but not the Covid arm. No other symptoms.

Is it the case that only mRNA covid vaccines are currently offered in the UK now?
