A healthcare commenter reports receiving the mFlusiva flu shot three weeks after a Covid vaccine and experiencing roughly 36 hours of fatigue, joint pain, body aches and heartburn. She describes the reaction as noticeably stronger than a standard-dose flu vaccine but manageable. The account is drawing attention as people compare notes on side effects from the newer flu vaccine alongside Covid boosters.

• @ VeeRat I got my # covid vaccine three weeks prior to # mFlusiva . With mFlusiva I experienced about 36 hours of fatigue, arthralgias, body ache, and oddly, some heartburn. Definitely more than a typical standard dose flu vaccine, but nothing that wasn’t manageable. · DrSarahHolstein · 2
