10. I had Shingrix together with a flu shot, and Covid combined with flu at a separate time . . .

Other than sore arms, I was fine. But then, I've never had a negative reaction to any of those shots by themselves.

I'll get Covid with flu next week (I hope, if the Covid comes in to my pharmacy) and don't expect any untoward effects. If I think of it, I'll let you know how it works out this time.

I wouldn't advise taking multiple shots at once, given how so many have strong reactions to any of these three shots, but YMMV.
