Got flu vaccinated. I had COVID before and I got lucky and didn't have it all that badly (weird hyperosmia/more delicious food that I eventually got used to and devil's arse of a sore throat aside) but I think it softened me up for flu a month or so after. Like a delayed secondary infection. With flu I got in bed in the morning and couldn't get back out. I could just about stagger/shuffle downstairs, severely aching like cramp, 3am the next day, and in terms of unpleasantness it's up there. I think COVID may be a seriously underrated factor in regards of flu*. A kind of 1-2 punch. So, basically, I didn't have to have a flu vaccine, but got one because of the prevalence of COVID. I don't qualify for a COVID booster and I'm not going to pay for it privately.
