Last week they were saying getting them together increased the stroke risk in seniors.
Hubby and I got our Covid updated booster and annual influenza vaccines at the same time. We’ll get the RSV vaccine later, because Walgreen’s wouldn’t give us three at a time.
I love being vaccinated. That means my immune system is trained and ready to fight against those nasty viruses.
Anytime you see “according to a small new study” they are trying to kill you even faster.

Annual Influenza Jabs are not Needed!: Peter C. GøtzschePETER C. GØTZSCHE NOVEMBER 15, 2023
People all over the world, particularly the elderly, are being nudged by the authorities to get an annual vaccination against influenza, but it is not at all obvious that this is a good idea. In fact, there are several reasons to be skeptical.
First, the preventive effect is small. Twenty-nine people would need to be vaccinated to avoid one case of influenza-like illness and 71 people to avoid one case of influenza, and the vaccination does not reduce hospital admissions or days off work.
Second, as the virus mutates quite rapidly, the effect obtained by vaccination will likely be smaller than in the randomized trials.
Third, the vaccine has negative effects on the immune system. Canadian researchers showed in four different studies that people who received a seasonal influenza vaccine in 2008 had an increased risk of getting infected with another strain in 2009.
Fourth, all vaccines cause harms, which can potentially be serious. Pandemrix, one of the influenza vaccines used during the 2009-2010 pandemic, caused narcolepsy in children and adolescents with a certain tissue type. Up to several years after vaccination of children and adolescents, people may suddenly start falling asleep while engaging in their normal activities, and there is no cure.
Fifth, we should always consider the likelihood of getting infected without vaccination. Influenza pandemics are uncommon and rarely involve large portions of the population. In any given year, the likelihood of acquiring influenza if unvaccinated is therefore very small. I never had an influenza vaccination, and my wife, a professor in clinical microbiology, never had one, and together, we have perhaps had influenza twice for 135 years. But we don’t know. When people say they have influenza, it usually just means an influenza-like illness of which there are many, which vaccination does not protect against.
Some fundamentalists, particularly in the United States and Australia, have mandated influenza vaccination of healthcare workers to protect patients. This violation of informed consent is deeply troubling and unethical. Moreover, a large review about vaccination of healthcare workers caring for elderly people did not find an effect on laboratory-proven influenza, lower respiratory tract infection, hospitalisation, death due to lower respiratory tract illness, or all-cause mortality.
A researcher mentioned that, “to focus exclusively on the risk posed by unvaccinated workers – treating them as outcasts or, worse, terminating their employment – while overlooking the risk posed by vaccinated workers, potentially jeopardizes patients.” Indeed. Vaccination may provide staff with a false sense of security that might reduce their level of handwashing and potentially increase, rather than decrease, the risk of infecting patients.

Double up, it’s good for you.
I was going to be nice and say neither. I like your answer better.
New propaganda more like it
I will get neither of them - but I will get neither of them at the same time
...does that work?
TexasGator, don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime deal! 2 jabs for the price of 1!
Flu vaccine, what's the point? It's a roll of the dice on whether or not it will actually help.
I've never gotten a Flu shot and would never go near the mRNA BS, so I suppose I should already be dead 50 times over.
BULL$HIT!
"Should you get your Covid and flu shots at the same time? New research suggests yes"
And then there's the following recent disturbing thread.
FDA says getting Covid shot on same day as certain flu vaccines may raise risk of strokes in elderly people - while children aged 2-5 slightly more likely to suffer seizures after a coronavirus vaccine (10.26.23)
Thanks NBC for telling us what NOT to do. you see we know you lie, and so we just do the opposite of whatever NBC says.
In this case its NO BUENO time.
And I should trust NBC news because...?
I have learned over the past two years to ignore what medical “experts” say. It’s clear that many of these “experts” practice political science rather than medical science.
“…giving Covid and flu shots together could produce a stronger antibody response against the coronavirus than administering the vaccines separately.”
Or, preferably for the depopulation agenda, it could sterilize, sicken or kill more of us more quickly.
Therefore, I will never get another routine flu shot
Never in a lifetime will I, or have I ever gotten a flu or covid shot.
