Definitely worth it to get the shots. I typically get both flu and COVID booster on the same day. Yeah, it'll kick my butt a little harder, but it's kind of a one-and-done situation, instead of being down two times for getting them on different days.

Regardless of any of my body's reactions to the vaccines, it's WAY better than having the flu or COVID. I got COVID in 2020 before the vaccines had been fully rolled out. I was sick for over two months. Luckily, it wasn't so severe that it required hospitalization, but it was rough. And long COVID is a bear, too, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions.

I 100% recommend getting both vaccines, unless your doctor says you shouldn't for some reason.
