William Gibson @greatdismal.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Had COVID-19 and flu shots this afternoon, both in my right arm. Feel a little blah but nothing too bad. Glad I got ‘em. Hope you get yours! 4992242
Peter Butler @peter-butler.bsky.social · 15/10/2026My $0.02 too — get em both, get em done, take the day (or two) off. Good for the winter 030
𝕵𝖔𝖍𝖓 𝕽𝖔𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 𝕭𝖆𝖙𝖟 🦇 🦇 🦇 - Composer, Brass, Voice 🔜 GameSoundCon @johnrobertmatz.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Just did the same here - gotta travel next week to speak at a game audio conference, so better safe than sorry. Night 2 got me good, but today’s been better. 🤞 020
👻Jeroooooeeen 👻 🎑 @joenr76.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Got my covid one last week. Flu is planned in early November. 000
Séamus Bellamy @seamusb.bsky.social · 22hGot mine last week. A sore arm the next day is a small price to pay 000
LeaP @learp.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Why both in the same arm? I got flu on the left and C-19 on t he right. Both arms got sore but each one felt slightly different. 110
VHarris @antarchivist.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Last year's flu shot formula wasn't super effective because the makers didn't correctly anticipate (always a bit of an informed crapshoot) the predominant strain of the virus (note: I did get the jab nevertheless). Do you know if they found a better match this year? 000
Dr. Ken Nowak, Esq. @mojodaddyo.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Got both last week. Felt terrible the next day but it was totally worth it. 000
brideofmothers.bsky.social @brideofmothers.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Love my vaccines! We can all stop another pandemic before it starts, with a shot in the arm 💕 000
Cory @evilmam.bsky.social · 15/10/2026got mine last week, same arm. Sore but otherwise fine; vaccinated af! 000
dberger43 @dberger43.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Got the new Covid just before we left the US, which was 2 days before the new flu shot was available, so now debating whether to get the Euro flu shot now or wait for the mRna US version later in the year. 000
Dr. RawheaD @rawhead.bsky.social · 15/10/2026You also get the new pneumonia vaccine? I got all three all at once last week :) 020
Patrick Fitzgerald @patmfitz.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Thanks for the reminder - I got my flu shot a while back but the Covid wasn't available. Will have to follow up - gotta ensure that I'm around for the Neuromancer premiere 😉 000
David Eff @dhf-on-bsky.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Good for you! Spouse didn't feel well for one day after the two shots; I was fine but had a little arm soreness after a few hours. 010
MountDoom🇨🇦🇺🇦🇩🇰🇬🇱 @mountdoom.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Started with the RSV shot for the first time (BC government finally offering it free for those of us 75+). Had more reaction than I’ve ever had from flu or Covid shots - arm was sore for 48 hours, a bit swollen, then quite itchy for 2-3 days. Flu and Covid next up. 010
The Ones Who Walk Away From the Torment Nexus @thechrispaduan.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Way ahead of you! Got mine last month. 000
Francesco Francavilla @ffrancavilla.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Got the Covid one a couple months back before traveling to Italy. The flu one was not available yet back then but it’s in my to do list 030
Zenevas Muroa @zenevasmuroa.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Good for you! Take an extra shot of whiskey at bedtime, it'll help when the mutations kick into high gear. 010
🦇𝖌𝖗𝖎𝖒_𝖜𝖍𝖊𝖊𝖐𝖊𝖗🦇 @grimwheeker.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Getting mine on the 1st due to my odd work schedule lately, but I've got them planned! 000
Stephen Boo-len 👻 @bolen.co · 15/10/2026My COVID shot hurt my arm for a few days, but nowhere near as bad as COVID would hit if I got it again. It's a fair trade, honestly. 060
Dave DeBaeremaeker @studiodave.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Still waiting on my COVID. I got caught in a "you're a newly old man, so you need more shots now" cycle, so I got the FLU, Shingles, and TDAP... waiitng a few weeks on advice of the good folks at Walgreens before gettign my COVID jab. 000
Gayzee @lra2308.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Had both today too. Feeling perfectly fine. Let’s hear it for science.static.klipy.comClapping ApplauseALT: Clapping Applause 000
Nice Footpaws @ionotter.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Yeah, it'll hit you in the morning. Nothing bad, just a sort of achy blegh, where you feel like doing sweet f$ck all. Lean into it, take a sick day, and order takeout as you watch movies all day. 010
nycrogue.bsky.social @nycrogue.bsky.social · 15/10/2026We're getting ours this weekend. The flu this year has a bad reputation. 000
Nathan @graymarket.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Absolutely zero side effects from the Moderna booster. Flu caused site soreness a bit longer than usual this year. 140
Carol @pinkgodzilla2.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Got’em on Monday, different arms though. Only took Tuesday off due to sluggishness and general meh. Back at it today. 000
Milky Cold @milkycold.bsky.social · 15/10/2026got mine this morning. birthday double vax. arm a little hurty, nothing big. 000
Rich Peall @richpeall.bsky.social · 15/10/2026The wife and I both just got hit with the recent version of COVID. I can safely assume the 'blah' of the shots are better than the nonsense we've been through. 🤒🤧🤢 000
JesterOC @jesteroc.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I got the recent mRNA flu vaccine. I didn’t feel the effects until the second day. Basically, I was fine day one, I had low energy on day two. Day three everything went back to normal. My daughter got the flu the week before and it knocked her out for nearly 11 days. 010
Jules @chimericalgirl.bsky.social · 15hGot both last week, luckily the blah-ness only lasted a day. 000
Scary Berry @berryh.bsky.social · 15/10/2026My flu shot is booked for tomorrow. The UK has raised the age criteria for COVID-19, so I'm no longer eligible. Also, given I'm still recovering from the after efficts of shingles after more than a month, I'd urge anyone who can to get that shot too. 210
Andy Chapman @andychapman.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Mind if I ask costs for comparison? I am in the UK so flu jab is free but Covid costs £100 (130 USD). 200
Adam Lasnik @adamlasnik.net · 15/10/2026Did the same earlier this week. Was happy that -- in contrast with some previous times -- I had very little in the way of feeling bleh after and my arm was only *slightly* sore for a couple days. Definitely hope everyone else gets these vaccinations... plus the shingles vax if you're over 50!!! 010
Colin Laney @noydbmf.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I did the Covid vax this week - I'll do flu in w/in the next two. 000
Dad Influence @dadinfluence.bsky.social · 15/10/2026That's how I felt this time around as well. Kind blah for about 36 hours. Had a 'hot' feeling where the shot was as well that gradually decreased over the about the same time frame, that was new. That was it. Well worth it. 020
Swan River Press @swanriverpress.bsky.social · 15/10/2026On the list. There's currently a shortage here in Ireland. Most ag risk are receiving first. 010
TuxedoAlbedo @jerryork.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Shingles vaccine gave me superpowers for 18 hours. Was kind of nice but faded. Vaccines work. No shingles so far. Ty sir for your leadership in these dark times. 000
Petter Häggholm @haggholm.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Mild bruising and tenderness, but our local pharmacist at the independent pharmacy in Marpole has a very deft touch. Almost didn't feel the first one at all. Glad to have it done ahead of Vancouver's worst sneezy season. 010
The-Greetest @the-greetest.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I got mine on Sunday. Usually they don't mess with me much, just a little soreness. Not this time. Both arms were more sore than usual and I felt on the border of that warmly sick feeling on Monday. Either way, still way, way, waaay better than getting either. 010
CelluloidSalad (she/her) @celluloidsalad.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Got mine last week, one in each arm. I don’t remember which went into which arm, but one of them was pretty sore the next day. Otherwise I felt fine. 000
