Yeah…they just mix them all together in a virus blender! A couple of years ago I did have to get a bunch at once. I think I needed 5! The nurse was going to give me them all in one sitting, but I did 3, waited a few weeks and then did the other 2.

So… that must be a very large needle if you need to get all of those at once.

Ouch!

Oh I hate that TDAP!! Looks like you only need it once and then you can just get TD. Luckily I only needed typhoid this year.

The TDAP vaccine frequently has side effects of fatigue and flu-like symptoms for about 2 days after you’ve had it… so plan for some buffer time if you have a busy schedule
