5. I'm not a healthcare expert, but I got two shots at once

Sep 2023

Several years ago (flu and pneumonia) and came down with 103 degree fever. The pharmacist and lots of online articles said there were no problems with getting both at once. When I reported the reaction to a different pharmacist, she said “oh, that’s too much medicine to get at once.” I just don’t think they have the evidence. So going forward I won’t take any combination of shots at the same time.
