Dec 5

other than a sore arm for a few days. My husband, who reacts to pretty much everything, had aches, pains, and sniffles with the flu shot. With the latest Covid shot, which I haven't gotten yet, He says his arm hasn't been the same since---and it's been two whole weeks. I'll get mine next week at my PCP's.
