I am feeling rougher than a dead dogs bum! I have never had flu after a vaccination before :shock good luck mate

I know quite a few people who say they haven't felt good afterwards.
When I worked, there was an elderly lady there and she was so ill afterwards it was really worrying. She developed the most horrendous chesty cough and looked dreadful and she was so frail to start with.
I've heard others say the same.
Hope you are on the mend now
, you've had enough on your late this autumn already - and that was before the mice moved in! 
If people are ill this winter, I wonder if doctors will know the whether it's Flu starting, or Covid?

It'll be a different vaccine this year I expect, as don't they have to 'tweak it' each winter and add different strains?

I wonder if eventually they will combine the two, Flu & Covid, or whether they will expect people to have both?
I find this a bit frightening if they want to fill us with all these vaccines at once - Flu, Covid, and where I am, they are doing Shingles too.
Many older people are already on daily medication for different ailments too, so I can't help but wonder how these vaccines interact with daily meds too.
I bet these vaccine trials are not done on poorly oldies with other health conditions and meds already!
We will be walking chemical factories, full of drug cocktails inside us.

Side effects can have a debilitating result and take away your mobility, which I consider the most important thing for longevity.

It's difficult isn't it though Foxy. I mean, most of us are not medically trained, so we can at best, only do what we feel is right for us, and hope we are making the right decision.
