So, the new Covid booster was approved. Will you get it?

That sounds miserable! Hope you’re feeling better quickly! 

I'm not allowed to. It is because I reacted to the Pfizer vaccine and now receive the Moderna one. My body freaks out at the rush of work my body is doing and my lymph nodes swell. So because of that it is too risky to get both. I have to wait a month between. So Sept is Covid and Oct is flu.

My parents get both and he we had issues.

Yep. I get whatever they offer me. I'm a teacher so I work in a sea of germs and tend to get anything that is going around.

Getting over COVID at present. Dad tested positive and we all have the same symptoms. The last 2 weeks were spent in bed, mostly in a fitful sleep. The cough was bone jarring bad. Yesterday, I had energy and was able to catch up on chores. Today,  I am having to sit down between flipping the bacon as it is frying.

This is the 2nd time this year. I’m still not over the “viral syndrome/Long COVID.” I am ready to quit work and never leave my house again. I have no memory of January through half of February. This time was horrible! I don’t think I can do this again…losing weeks of my life. Seriously, didn’t even have the energy or focus to read. 

The 2-4 months post infection is good info to have. Thank you!

I'll get vaxxed as soon as it become available at my clinic. With the flu shot, too. I'm all about preventative care.

For me, it’s NEVER convenient for me to not feel good.  I’m a teacher, parent to a competitive gymnast, parent to a soccer and baseball player and I go go go all the time. It was hard for me to plan my shingles vaccines because I had to find 2 weekends or 3 days in a row twice to not feel good.  Thankfully I didn’t end up feeling poorly from either shingles shot.  I know what the Covid shot does to me- I basically feel like I have Covid for 3 days.  No thanks.  I’ll take my chances at dodging it.  I had it December 2021 and July 2024 and no lingering effects so far- pretty good odds to me.

No, I wont be getting it.

I wil get my flu and covid shot mid September, I do one in each arm .

there are test kits - they were a bit hard to find in late July when we were looking for them - both CVS's here were sold out and we ended up with the last one at Walgreens

I got my flu and booster shot together last year. My dr. always says to wait a bit for the flu vaccine since you really need the protection later in the flu season. I tend to get mine between Halloween and Veteran's Day. Will do both at the same time. I get them on a Friday, so if I start feeling poorly, I have a few days to recover. So far, so good. This will be my 6th Covid vaccine.

Yes. I have an appt. to get a flu shot at my local Walgreens, and plan to ask about the new Covid vaccine.

I have T1D, so it's a given. I pretty much get every vaccine that is out there.

I'm immunocompromised with heart damage and a history of pulmonary embolisms so yes, I will be getting every COVID (and flu) booster from now until the end of time.
