what's y'all's experience been with mpox vaccines? covid vaccines always hit me pretty hard for 3-4 days with arm/shoulder soreness, chills, achy all over, etc.
got an appt for the new covid vax tomorrow and wondering if I should get both at the same time or if I'd be completely wrecked by doing that. feel like I can reschedule a couple weeks out for mpox if needed, but def want new covid vax yesterday
