So many needles. I am getting my new covid booster, and a shingles vaccine on Saturday. Then, my flu booster next Wednesday at a work clinic.

Travel doc told me the most they’ll do is eight at a time, 4 in each arm. I got six once. -- nm - mafic Oct 19, 07:25 3
- that seems like a *lot* -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:26 2
  - the anti-slug bite needles make up half of those I think -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Oct 19, 07:27
  - mafic is *contagious* -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 19, 07:26
I got the flu-ster yest. they were out of the boo-ster, so that'll have to be later.:-[ -- nm - mud Oct 19, 06:59
Interesting. The CVS here didn't recommend stacking up the Shingles with the others. My wife needs hers so we're getting the flu + covid on Friday - oblique Oct 19, 06:58 9
- yep, shingles plus COVID knocked us out for two days or so. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Oct 19, 07:21
- i was booking online and it gave me the option to add it to the appointment, i have to be 'assessed', but it suggested it to me. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:00 2
  - (it's been on my to-do list for... a while.) -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:01 1
    - I had it done 2 years ago. My arm was the most sore from that shot but overall it wasn't bad at all. -- nm - oblique Oct 19, 07:02
- yeah, I need to do shingles (and am planning it separate as well) flu + covid was bad enough for me -- nm - decline Oct 19, 06:59 4
  - that's kinda what the tech insinuated. it was more of a "you're already going to feel like crap" and not to stack more onto it -- nm - oblique Oct 19, 07:01 3
    - i am not doing flu at the same time, i don't think it would have let me do all of them. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:02 2
      - Covid and shingles would be the more important ones. hope it goes well for you! -- nm - oblique Oct 19, 07:03 1
        
        flu was already scheduled at work next week, so i didn't bother. Dave is doing Covid and Flu though (not shingles) -- (edited) - Andie Oct 19, 07:06
