Last week Mom and I had our flu jabs and my Mom also had a Covid jab. Having the two together was recommended but it really knocked her about for a couple of days. Also it made her arm bleed which doesn’t usually happen. Today she had to go for a RSV jab….to do with her breathing. We had a taxi to the medical centre but got the bus back home, The nurse did say one of the side effects was tingling of the toes and if it happens to go straight to A&E …chances are 1 in a billion apparently. So far , so good, as they say ….. How has your day been ?

I do not believe that it's a good idea to have the two shots together. I hope your Mom is fine now.

She only did what the Dr recommended but she won’t do it again.

I am glad your mom has you to keep a close eye on her. First, to get the vaccines, but then to make sure the side effects aren’t too much for her.

She has been okay today after this last one. It’s only right I am there for her.

I would never get my flu and Covid shots done at the same time again. That was harsh. It knocked me out all afternoon.

No, Mom won’t have them together next time. It’s really not worth it to be feeling the way that she was.

Hope your mom doesn't get any tingling after her jab today. It certainly does sound like she's a human pin cushion lately.

I don't do jabs so escape all that. A quiet day thus far.

The 1 in a billion toe tingling thing made me nervous just reading it... glad your mom is doing ok so far. Hope she gets some rest after that third jab, smh at how much they put her through in one week.
