One in each arm. A little sore but NBD. When I was growing up, shots were a BFD. The wire guage and length were brutal. And it was my Uncle administering the shots. Had a love/hate relationship with him as a youngster.

and my arms were very sore for a week. I got Covid and Flu last week and as usual both arms hurt for 4 or 5 days but not nearly as bad as Shingles. I asked the pharmacist if this was normal and he said it was.
