This past weekend I decided to go ahead and get my booster shot. Seeing as how I usually don’t have any more symptoms than a sore arm after getting shots, I thought why not also get my flu shot while I was at it. Something I learned from my stint in the Marines, is that you should only mix alcohol if you really want to get fucked up. I have now learned the same can be applied to vaccines.
I got my shots early in the morning and went most of the day feeling fine. After getting home from work though, I could tell something was starting, just feeling off. When my wife asked my plans for the evening, I told her I’d probably just be turning in early, incase any side-effects kick in so that I could sleep through them. She said if I was going to bed, she would probably head to her friends house for a girls night, wine and early 2000’s reality shows. I saw her off, then checked my temp before deciding to try to turn in. Only 99F
