Yes, pharmacist gave me Shingrix and Flu vaccine at the same time/same arm.
Wouldn't do that again. My arm was tight and red for about a month. The tightness worsened daily (felt like a nerve issue, not muscle tightness) for at least the first two weeks after the shot and then held steady for about another two weeks before gradually subsiding. I didn't have as much difficulty with the second shot (administered in the other arm).
My GP said I likely would've experienced something beyond normal but that having the flu shot at the same time and at the same site probably was at the root of the prolonged reaction. This was about two years ago and also the first time I ever had the flu shot so who really knows what was what there. In my gut, I believe that having both at the same injection point was the most significant factor.
