Three-fer

The husband and I finally got appointments for this morning for the monkeypox vaccine here in PG County, a process that should have been done and over with months ago, but a lack of vaccines and a screwed up scheduling system meant long delays. But, fast forward to this morning and I drove us over to a local county health center for it. While we were there they offered to give us both the seasonal flu vaccine and the latest, updated Covid booster, so we figured why the heck not. Finished up, drove the husband to the Metro so he could go to work, then headed home.

A couple hours later and I'm slightly nauseous in the way that the flu shot often does, and perhaps a little body sore, but the poor husband is definitely feeling it worse, so he grabbed a cheap uber home. I made him some lunch and he's crashing on the couch in front of some fluffy TV. No itching on the MPX shot site for me. I did go ahead and take the rest of the day off - I had originally taken just the morning, but with the three-fer-one deal we got I decided lawyering while vaccinated was a bad idea.

Thank heavens for small, independent pharmacies. The husband got his covid booster and flu shots yesterday at a little pharmacy a couple blocks from us, while on the way back from a mis-timed appointment at a chain pharmacy a little further up the road (about a week ago he booked an appointment online for the 3rd, they instead put him in for the following Friday). While the little pharmacy has an online appointment calendar that showed no vacancies, they were happy to have him fill out the paperwork online at home and come back same day and get both shots. Within about an hour of that, he was wiped out for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Thankfully he felt well enough this morning to go get long-planed haircuts this afternoon. Then after we got home I called the little pharmacy and was able to get my own covid booster and flu shots. Much to the husband's annoyance I was not immediately laid low by the double whammy, and it's actually just now, several hours later, as I'm getting ready to go to bed that I'm actually feeling any real side effects. I expect tomorrow will be a quiet day, but we had no plans anyway, and I'm just happy we're both boosted and flu shot now.
