The last flu vaccine I had when I turned 65, I didn’t realize it was a triple dose. I was sick with 103 fever for a week. The one before that weren’t as strong and just got alittle sick. So if I ever decide to do it again I wouldn’t allow the senior dose. No one told me. I found our by reporting it to Vaers, and they told me and they told me also it was a different filler that year

Def with PMR, which is much better in my legs now since summer, (thank the Universe), I will NOT take the senior flu shot. I have not gotten a covid booster since last Nov and did not get a flu shot last year or this year. I am really afraid to start a flare. No more senior flu shots. I also had only 1 of the 2 pneumonia shots and have to hope that it does offer some protection..I have read that it does.
I hear you.

A few years ago had a regular flu vaccine and no efffects. This year, the day before Thanksgiving, I had a visit with my PCP do to light symptoms of PMR but it was not yet diagonosed or suggested at that visit. The PCP thought it best for me to have a flu vaccine which I preferred not to get but I allowed her to give it to me (I had had a severe reaction to to my Covid booster). This time it was the Sr Flu vaccine which made me sick the next day and my PMR symptoms became more prominent. I am done with these vaccines that they are poping out like M&M candies.
