COVID & Flu Shots Yesterday

Gladly, no side effects at all. Neither arm is sore.
I was a little worried because we dropped off the kittens this morning for their spaying.
The shelter through whom we got them had the staged at a vet in a different town, so we have a half-hour each way, twice today. Feeling crummy would have made that harder.
But, no such bad luck!
We go back to get them at 4pm our time.

I noticed in the last hour that passed, I noticed a very slight tenderness in my left arm.
Right arm is still zero.
But, no real immune response effect.
The very first COVID vaccine I ever got caused a pretty strong 8 or 10 hour reaction.
None since, including this one.

I never whine about any side effects - I think that's a leftover from my childhood - whenever we went overseas we'd get a bunch of shots, and WHINING WAS NOT ALLOWED

Other than the first COVID shot reaction, I never had a reaction except for the first malaria shot.
Felt crummy for a full day or more. I guess that's why they want you to have it a week before you left.
