BeLinda Mathie @bmathie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Booked for flu & Covid shots tomorrow. Have done them at the same time the last couple of years and it has gone ok. (Sore arm, feel kinda crappy for ~24 hours. Way better than getting either flu or Covid.) 110
Matthew Cortland (they) @matthewcort.land · 03/10/2026fantastic (not the side effects, they do suck. if i may be so presumptuous - some folks find moving their arms around, lifting something of moderate weight, can help with local soreness) 120
BeLinda Mathie @bmathie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Moving the arm after a vaccine is a great suggestion. I’ve adopted it, but it appears that I am still destined for “arm hurts, ow” for a day or two after getting a shot. Not fun, but a small price to pay to avoid getting really, really sick. 000
