Mind you, my father rarely has a reaction of vaccinations. Last year he felt crappy for a day or two after the flu shot for the first time ever. And after one of his Covid vaccines he was under the weather for a few days. But that was only once.

Yeah, in my life, I typically have NOT had much in the way of reactions to shots. I've been pretty dismissive of them too (I may rue the day...) but this last pass, the Covid and Flu, same day...while I didn't get horribly sick or anything like that, the ensuing day, holy crapdoodles, I felt like I'd gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, quite literally. My entire body, head to toe, had DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). I felt as though I'd done an hour-long hard workout, after 5 years off. It was...very odd. Can't say I've ever had that before but it was profound in the discomfort category.
Next day, 99% gone. [shrug]. Weird. But I damn sure am getting the Shingrix. NOT doing that again if there's anything I can do to help it. Hell, it's been 9 months and my business is still recovering from those 75-90 days "away" for me. Not to mention how bad the Shingles itself was, never mind what it did to my biz! (And my now life-long addiction to Stroopwaffels. Oh, the humanity...)
