Covid booster and flu vaccine - can I get in same arm to prevent lymphodema?

Thanks, I have since read about the 1 inch rule, so think it will be fine.

Thank you, I'll be the same as you - AZ first 2 and all boosters are pfizer. Great to her you didn't feel ill as I felt ill after first vaccine, but not 2nd. It looks like a few people have had it in same arm so should be fine.

Thanks for your reply, I think it should be find both in same arm as others have had this now. Hope so anyway!

Hi 

I am in Scotland got the 2 jags in the same arm 2 weeks ago no SE from any of them. 

Take care

I had my flu jab in non affected arm, and was told if the jabs are a week apart that’s fine to use the same arm, got my booster in just over a week.

Hi

I had a bilateral mastectomy so I've had my covid jabs and flu jab in my thighs 

Take care x

Thanks, it looks like anyone in Scotland is able to get them in the same arm at the same time - and I'm in Scotland too, so all good.

Hi Fifitrix, me too, with bilateral axillary clearance. I have all jabs in thigh. With my booster last week the inexperienced vaccinator went into a flap and started talking about sending me to a special centre! She went to get someone and eventually a paramedic came and taught her how to do it! I was quite upset. Poor training, didn’t need it.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago and last I heard it had been put aside for moderation, but I’ve just looked at my email and there’s been a load of posts in the past couple of days! I had my jags last week and was able to have both in my left arm without any bother. No side effects, just a sore arm for a couple of days. Thanks for all your replies- sounds like things have moved on wrt guidance which is good
