Moderna/flu combo tomorrow afternoon.
They are harder to get now compared to before.
Appointment only at only a few pharmacies in my area.
Buried my father in law last Wednesday.
He had Parkinsons disease and was doing fine until he caught covid.
It destroyed him. 🙏
2 of my nephews were supposed to be pallbearers for the funeral.
They both got covid and missed the service 😔
Its everywhere right now with school opening up 2 weeks ago.
Take care everyone ❤
School's already in here and my HS senior has been out all week with the cooties.
Shit, twins, that's rough. Sorry to read that.
You too W_G.
I now know hardly anyone that hasn’t had the vid already and feel like its closing in on me. Can’t get the new boosty soon enough
Mcski, have you checked cvs website? 4 of 5 in my household have now have gotten the new bivalent booster. All at cvs.
Condolences, twins.
I got booster #4 and Shingrix #2 at same time. Immune response was no worse or longer than booster #3 or Shingrix #1 taken aloneQuote:

Got the updated (and my 4th) shot on Thursday. Nothing more than a mildly sore arm and maybe some fatigue. All your antibodies are belong to us!
Its easy to schedule through the CVS website in my area at least.
Got the flu and booster 5 hours ago.
Didn't even feel the injections and zero side effects.
Thankyou to all that gave condolences 🙏
I rode in the hearst just by chance last Wednesday.
The seat was open and I jumped in.
The funeral director told me something that I already knew but needed to here again.
You don't know when your time is up so enjoy the time you have.
He had been a funeral director for 33 years and seen it all.
Condolences, Twins. I lost my Dad in 2020 in a similar situation. Sucks. Best to your family!
Thankyou schwerty.Quote:

We never get over this stuff.
We just learn how to deal with it.
Woke up last night to the dreaded night sweats.
Probably the flu vaccine kicking in.
Fine today, slightly tired and my arms are not too sore.
Flu shot in my right arm
Booster in the left arm.
The pharmacy asked what my dominant hand was.
They have been giving the booster in the less dominant arm.
Wishing everyone a safe week 🙏
So, was on the 5 day treatment of Paxlovid since diagnosis. Been hearing complaints about the rebound symptoms. Supposed to be 2x/day for 5 day standard dosing. I had a few extra doses. Did 2x/day for the first four days, then one per day for the next 3. No rebound.
Hope you recover nicely. 'Rona sucks.
makes sense, what you did, but science doesn’t always follow good sense…Quote:

Strange thing is that I asked about COVID/Flu , and I was told that it will not be available until 2023. I need to go back for flu vax in mid-Oct.
TWINS: Sorry about your dad.
Starting to think maybe this last sickness was just some gold old fashioned sinus infection/bronchitis? Have had a bad dry cough for about 10 days. This AM hacked up a tiny bit of blood which was new for me. I guess that's only super concerning if it's a larger volume of blood. Still weird.
Is it 2023 yet? This may be the worst year I have ever had.
You guys getting boosted all the time ever look up the side effects? Long term impacts to your immune system?
Yes, but not looking up the same sources you are, I am sure.Quote:

GIVE ME ALL THE BOOSTERS, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LONG TERM SIDE EFFECTS!!! In fact, I'm looking forward to growing a tail.
I'm pissed the shots haven't improved my cell phone reception.
And fuck I wish the magnet thing was true, I'd never lose my keys again.
damn U2 album downloaded in my brain with my last booster is an annoying side effect.
Long-term too since U2 will likely never stop sucking.
Someone needs to investigate the Bono - Bill Gates connection.
THAN FUCKING GOD that was not one of my side effects. I doubt I'd get another booster if "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" was on an endless loop in my head.Quote:

I wonder how many flu shots I have had over the years? Shit ton. When do I go full zombie? Taking too long for anything fun to kick in. I still get the flu anyway, almost every year, but rather than feeling like a barely walking miserable dead man for countless days I get better on like day 3.

You mean out past 3 years?? Out there where there is no fucking data?!?!?!?
Why yes, yes I have. What would you like to imagine?
I'm still pissed they don't increase 5g reception. My phone reception is crap. THANKS A LOT CONSPIRACY THEORISTS.
22Q comes before "a" so this month the various societies dedicated to research and treatments for 22Q11.2DS have had a sudden uptick in interest. So that's pretty cool for them. With maybe a third of sufferers being unaware they have it, I wonder how many people decide to get tested for it now that they know it exists? Supermodel?
Yeah. I did. But I'm not a moron.Quote:

My son goes to a small public HS. Less than 180 students and maybe 10 staff. For an email from the school today. 8 students and 3 staff out with covid-19 (all self determined positive tests). Request for staff and students to “Please continue to be diligent in monitoring for symptoms and follow the guidelines set forth [link to guidelines].” How hard would it to have been for the email to state, “as shown in the link, the two most effective methods to not spread covid 19 are to wear an effectively properly fitted mask and to test if you have any symptoms (and isolate if you’re positive)”? Rather than force people to have to click a link to a lengthy pdf file….
This is how you say “ I know fuckall about immunology” without saying “I know fuckall about immunology”Quote:

^^^ I made an appt then found out you should wait 3 mos after getting Covid to get boosted. So November for me.
Will get flu shot separately I guess.
Thankyou for the condolences 🙏Quote:

All good.
Only a sore arm.
Happy its available now for those who want it.
I want to write cvs and ask what’s up? I looked on their website but could not figure out how to send an email.Quote:

Where I am, pharmacy staff are all masked whenever I’ve been in the various storesQuote:
