    Just got my second HPV vax and my understanding is I have to wait at least a month before I can have a different vaccine.

    That said, I intend to get the Covid and Flu vax once its been a full month. They’ve never told me I can’t do both of those at the same time.

      i tried asking for meningicoccal vaccine, but im not at risk so i wasnt given one, or the hpv one,. i was asked about the chickenpox vaxxine once, but i had CPOX when i was young, and shingles when i was 20. i had the vax for it, i dint know, but it appears it doesnt stop or reduce the severity of HZ.

      I’ve gotten Covid and Flu vax at the same time. I prefer it, I usually get a fever and my arm gets really sore. One time I tried one in each arm, and I had two sore arms for a couple days instead of one.

      If you really want the vaccine, just follow the advise of your physician. They’ll know or find out wheter you can combine them.

      If your a normal, healthy person there is no need to get the vaccine though. I get the flu shot every year because my employer offers it and I’m just a big wussy.
