I got the FluBlok flu shot yesterday. The nurse said I'd feel a pinch, so I waited for it (looking away from the needle as per my usual) but felt nothing at all, which surprised me. I'd thought a muscle injection would feel worse than a blood draw from a vein, but apparently I was wrong. Later I felt a very slight sting while moving my arm, but that was it.
I didn't get the TD booster shot yet. They had told me they had it when I called the day before (after making me wait a few minutes on the line while they checked), and it seemed like they were clear on the difference between the TD & the TDaP. But when I got there, the people there that day checked and said they had only TDap, not the TD on its own. (I'm not sure who was right). But they ordered it for me and will let me know when it gets in.
I'm a bit glad I didn't get both at the same time. This way, if either one affects me, it'll be more obvious which one was the culprit. (And it'll be less likely for them to interfere with each other.) But so far, I feel normal. Except for a slight stiffness in my leg/hip joint this afternoon, which could be due to anything.
