26. I got both my Covid and flu vaccines two weeks ago.

Fri Oct 17, 2025, 03:48 PM

Friday

Both of my injection sites felt slightly sore for the rest of the day, but that was gone the next morning. I got Moderna.

It was hard for me to get. I'm in Indiana. The hospital that my doctor's office is associated with did not have it. Neither did the county Department of Health. Local pharmacies had Pfizer, but I've always done Moderna and wanted to stick with that. Costco had both, but they, like every pharmacy in town was requiring a Rx. Luckily (???) I have a lot of comorbidities that are on the CDC list so my doctor was very happy to write me a script.
