So I got my COVID-19 booster shot Monday afternoon, at a drugstore two miles away (the closer ones didn't have any appointment slots available). And on the "better to be hanged for a sheep than a lamb" theory, I got a shingles shot at the same time; neither the Web interface nor the pharmacist behind the counter nor the one who gave me the shots saw anything wrong with this. The injection site (my left deltoid) was sore almost immediately, and for the rest of the day, but no other immediate problems.
By the time I woke up Tuesday morning I had "flu-like symptoms": chills, shivering, nausea (didn't quite throw up, but thought about it), muscle aches all over, and getting winded after walking more than a few steps. Around 11 AM I decided this was a sick day, although I still got a little bit of work done in between naps. That went on for most of the day, but as of Wednesday morning I'm feeling basically normal, aside from injection-site soreness. And my weight is down 3-1/2 pounds from yesterday morning, presumably because I didn't eat much yesterday.
Have to go back in two months for the second dose of shingles vaccine. Which I'm told frequently produces a bad reaction, so there may be another sick day.
