Had my flu & covid vaccine yesterday afternoon and man are they hitting me hard this year. I think it's mostly the flu jab as I'm usually super and hit and miss with how it affects me. Covid I've always done okay with. Fever, aches, headache, crippling nausea, the whole 9 yards this year.

anyway i’m being very brave because my arm always feels like it’s falling off after my flu shot but i get it every year and get to listen to my coworker vomit mildly racist conspiracy theories to justify herself not getting one (she gets the flu every year)

Covid and flu vaccine in under three minutes. This shit is so quick and easy now. Anyone not taking advantage of these vaccines confuses me, and we would not be friends.

Why did no one tell me you're not supposed to take NSAID pain relievers two days before or one week after the flu shot

The burden of flu disease in the United States can vary widely and is determined by a number of factors including the characteristics of circulating viruses, the timing of the season, how well the vaccine is working to protect against illness, and how many people got vaccinated. While the effects of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year.
CDC estimates that flu has resulted in 9 million – 41 million illnesses, 140,000 – 710,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 – 52,000 deaths annually  between 2010 and 2020.

Walgreens essentially paid me $20 for getting vaccinated!*
*DISCLAIMER* i'm a nobody in Maine, USA. i have no idea if this applies to other Walgreens locations, this is completely based on my personal experience. they didn't say anything about it ahead of time, i didn't see it advertised anywhere, they just stapled the vouchers to my receipt as i left the clinic. but i figured it could be worth sharing!!
i scheduled an appointment to get my flu vaccine and new COVID-19 booster through my local Walgreens pharmacy. i was able to get both shots in the same appointment, even close enough together on the same arm to only use one bandaid. as i was leaving, they gave me my pharmacy receipts with the info for the two vaccines, and there were two vouchers stapled with them. as a reward for getting vaccinated (i'm assuming i got one for each shot i got), each voucher allows you to earn $10 in Walgreens Cash (essentially store credit) when you redeem it during a purchase where you're spending over $1 in store. it's considered a storewide coupon so you can only redeem one per transaction, but i've earned $20 to use in the future! i just wanted to share in case anyone else barely scraping by could use the info!!
