Members shared mixed experiences when asked about getting flu, RSV, and COVID vaccines at the same time, with some reporting no issues beyond sore arms while others described inflammatory responses or flare-ups that led them to space out their shots. Several members emphasized the importance of knowing your own body and taking vaccines separately to better identify which one might cause a reaction, especially for those managing RA for many years. A recurring theme was that while some felt fine getting multiple vaccines together, others strongly advocated for spacing them out to avoid confusion between vaccine reactions and disease flare-ups or infections.

Good Morning,
I took both shots at the same time and had sore arms the next day. Otherwise, I had no more pain than usual. Wish the shots had taken the RA away. 😊

I took the Covid and RSV at the same time. I had no issues afterwards except a sore arm for a day or so.I was in rehab facility recently due to a femur fracture and Covid was circulating. I sure am glad I had all vaccines for Covid.I didn't get it.

I hope by now each of you are better. Being a senior citizen has it's perks! 😄 Hubby and I had the flu for the holidays but we're better now. We've gone back to wearing the masks.
