1. Got sick after my recent Covid booster w/ the new vaccine? (There is no “active” virus in any of the Covid vaccines. This shot is just gearing up the immune system IN CASE Covid shows up. No long-term issues. Usually only 24 hours of symptoms. People have the same symptoms w/ each cycle of Covid Shots.)
2. Can I get the flu shot @ the same time as the latest Covid shot? I got mine and my arm got very sore afterwards. (Yes. This shot goes into the muscle and that is why it may get sore later on)
3. What about school children and the dangers of Fentanyl? (Yes, on-going problem. The danger is from “street” drug dealers, not prescription drugs and not really even OTC drugs, which are all regulated.)
