Anyone feeling particularly rough after it this year?

I didn’t, but my mate felt a bit rubbish for 24 hours.

Varies person to person, I suppose.

The Flu vaccine is different to the RNA vaccines, it essentially gives you a watered down version of the flu which your body learns to fight whereas the RNA vaccines get your body to produce a protein which the virus uses in it's spikes.

The first type of vaccines can often make you feel pretty rough, it's not really anything to do with this year or the strain, it's just how your immune system ramps at that particular time.

I had the flu vaccine for the first time this year after receiving a diagnosis earlier in the year which means I am now eligible for it. I've been ill since a few days after I've had it, including having covid and then a week with the worst sore throat I can ever remember having. Not sure if there's any link at all, but so far since having my vaccines I've not been well with persistent cold/flu symptoms.

Yes but it wasn't for a few days after, oddly. I had a single day of feeling achey.

I was and brought it up with a doctor when speaking about something else and she thought that was probably why. Had both jabs at the same time, so not sure which it might have been though.

Had both the flu and latest Covid vaccines twelve days ago, sore arm for a couple of days and then felt low at the weekend, despite going away. Not sure if I can put that down to the jabs or being in Aberdeen and Stonehaven. But probably not as a result of being off TWTD for a couple of days.

The long term plan would be to have a single mRNA vaccine which encoded proteins for both flu and covid.

This would have the benefit of being able to encode multiple proteins and thus cover many variants of flu rather than the informed guessing that happens at the moment.

One can think of mRNA vaccines like computer programming. You write the code to tell the body how to produce a protein then you encode that in the mRNA allowing you to do many proteins in a single jab.

I was reading about this a while back, mRNA does sound like a game-changer on this front, like a standard vaccine which can be 'tweaked' for specific circumstances, presumably making it easier to deal with new coronaviruses when they develop.

A few people on this thread must be considerably older than I thought they were.

Or considerably younger.

Or pregnant.

I had a flu vaccine last year and the year before, but don't get one this year - how does that work?

We do an onsite vaccine day at my work for flu, COVID, and tetanus. We had a disproportionately high number of people off work the following day, compared to previous years.

Had the flu and covid jabs at the same times down the docs. O.K. for the first 12 hours or so, felt pretty rough and achy for about 72 hours after that. Worth it I guess.

While too close for comfort to the age marker that qualifies me automatically for flu/Covid vaccine, I found that as I spend a few days each fortnight looking after my dad, I could actually get the vaccinations - so I did.
