So I had my seasonal flu shot and H1N1 shot at the same time on Wednesday.

So far, so good. I haven't exploded or turned into the Green Goblin.

And my arms barely were sore at all.

I'll keep you posted in case I grow an extra eye or something.

2. From my own experience, you may find yourself

going about your life and being productive and happy.

and not spreading any of those nasty viral little beings to others.

Life is good through science.

3. Ah! Happiness and productivity!??? The Horror! The Horror!

4. I thought you weren't supposed to do that, I hope

it doesn't kill ya.

6. I can't think of any immunological reason not to. We use combo vaccines

in animals ALL THE TIME, and so do physicians.

11. Nope it's fine.

5. Nothing wrong with two vaccinations at the same time.

I routinely give FVRCP (combo of 3 vaccines) PLUS FeLV PLUS Rabies to cats all at the same time, and have done so for 27 1/2 years with no problems.

7. We are not cats! No really I thought I did hear that you

should get them a couple weeks appart. It could be they told us that since the H1N1 wasn't avaiable
at the time.

9. They may have been talking about the flumist version.

[kestrel91316]

10. You either get vaccines on the same day, or you wait a minimum of three weeks between them.

This is so you avoid administering a vaccine during an interferon peak, which would limit its effectiveness.

8. My son got his H1N1 over a week ago. No problems so far. n/t

12. I received the seasonal, H1N1 and a tetanus booster this Fall.

That durned tetanus booster does leave things a bit sore for a couple days.

My arms are still working fairly well, too!

:hi:

13. My wife, 2 kids and I all recieved both seasonal and H1N1 vaccines this morning....

bit of soreness where the H1N1 vaccine was, but no other complaints.

We use an adjuvanted, multi-dose vaccine up here in Canada. I figure if teh autism hasn't appeared by Tuesday, we're in the clear.
