Got my booster today!

It does. You can get them both THE SAME day, otherwise you have to wait the two weeks

That was how live vaccines work. There's a specific wait time between 2 different vaccines, when both are live ones.
Did your doctor say, if that is why they want to do it that way, taking extra caution, even though neither the senior flu shot, nor covid vax ones are live ones?:unsure:

OR, is it so that , IF you got any significant side effects, then they'd know which one caused it?
Or maybe, your doctor advises the 2 weeks, to make any possible side effects less severe?

Thanks for info. I got my 2nd Pfizer shot in May, will check card for exact date, and then go on NMDOH vaccine page to check where i can get it.

Me, too. I got my second Pfizer in early April at in injection place set up by UNM Hospital at the UNM Pit. It was very well organized and smooth running. I don't know if they're doing that again or not. Probably easier to just go to local Walgreens if they're giving them there.

That occured to me--to just call Walgreen's and check. Have a Dental appt at Unser and Southern next Monday--i could pop over to that Walgreen's and ask even--tho it's another month before i'm eligible.
 

I'm eligible since yesterday to get a booster and I'm glad about it. I would have liked to run out right away and get it, but the company I work for is forcing all vaccinated employees to return to the office Monday and I am using not having the booster yet as an excuse to avoid returning to the office - because now I am no longer "completely vaccinated" (in my opinion anyway!).
So I'm going to try dragging my feet and hope to get away with waiting a couple weeks before I get the booster, then hope to claim a couple weeks more to allow the immunity to build before I suppose I will finally have to cave and return to the office (or possibly find myself abruptly retired 4 months sooner than planned!).

Got my booster last week. For anyone who’s interested, 24 hours out from my Pfizer booster, my arm hurt like a b***h and the site of the injection was hot and sore. That waned over the next two days. But so far that’s it. No fever, no other symptoms, nothing more or less than the previous two vaccines.

Good for you! I had that soreness for a day after the 2nd vaccination. It is normal.

Approximately when did they start giving the first ones, their 1st vaccine, to people there, @Tish ?
Here, healthcare workers on the first covid units at the hospital, and seniors living in congregate housing settings, and 24-hour-nursing facility residents, were offered to start first, in Jan and Feb, 2021.

i believe there's one more spot on the back for another. might check that. mine has one more slot on the back side. got mine thursday. had a fever and felt a little creepy friday but that's been all. the arm hurt more than the other stuff bothered me.
 
Got the Pfizer booster and the flu shot at one sitting. Make sure you bring your vaccine card with you. The Walmart website showed drivers license and insurance card only but when I got there they said they need the card.
 
Just received a letter (more like a summons) telling me to come to an obscure village hall 8 miles away for a flu jag next weekend and I might be offered a Covid booster at the same time.
In previous years, I've been asked if I want to make an appointment for a Flu jag. I've always declined and that was OK. I'm off for a well earned holiday next week, so I'm blowed if I want to risk a possible bad reaction spoiling my break, but if I can arrange a Covid booster after I return, I'll take it.

We received the Pfizer booster, yesterday. What a relief, to us, that is. No long wait or anything; we were there for 15 minutes unlike the 1st and 2nd dose. All were given at Doctors Hospital Renaissance. We are so very grateful to them.

Glad you were able to get the booster Pam. I just got back from getting mine. I got the covid and flu shots both. I never have any reaction to the flu shot so I thought, why not?! Anyhow when I got my first dose and second doses of the Pfizer my arm never hurt at all. I had the same pharmacist today doing the booster for me and she is great--can't feel a thing when she injects and I told her so, too. Very nice person, too! I'll let you all know if I have any side effects. :)

Proud of you, my dear, dear friend. You got your booster shot!

It didn't hurt at all. Your arm may or may not ache later. Just a bit. And you got the flu shot as well! Woooohoooo, that's great. This calls for a celebration. a879c19e59f271b96ba409d3f9ce3391[1].jpg
