@hello1234 While I am not a transplant patient, I do deal with a wonky immune system due to active blood cancer and end stage kidney disease.
On 9/11 I had flu and RSV vaccines, and on 10/2 shingles #1 vaccine. This next week will be the new Covid vaccine. I learned the hard way to space things out, as too many on one day will put me under the weather. They were really trying to get me to do shingles on the same day as flu and RSV, but I refused. If you are able to switch arms around for the different shots, do so! Anything to minimize getting sick.

Hi @gingerw 😊
It's always so great to hear from you! Thank you for joining in....I appreciate your excellent advice regarding spacing out the vaccines. Matter of fact, my aunt called me tonight and just told me the same thing. She took all the vaccines on the same day and she did not feel well for a couple of days. She highly recommended spacing the shots out by a couple of weeks. I will definitely take your advice (and my aunt's advice) and space them out to avoid feeling under the weather. Thank you Ginger!
