Third booster today, second was 5/24. Also flu shot. Pharmacist was pretty hot, dark hair with light blue eyes. Might have to go back for another
What is the consensus on the bivalent? Do you feel better/worse/the same than the other shots afterwards?
Got my updated booster yesterday along with (unrelated) back spasms/lower back strain. Haven't noticed much related to the booster given the back pain. #lifehack
Got my updated moderna bivalent boosty in one arm, flu in the other. Had a pharm student who was hot. Then she spoke and had a deeper voice than me. Then she stuck me and was a pleasant experience. 10/10 recommend.
Cool cool. 102f and chills about 26 hours later. Not too bad if it weren't for the back that kills with these shivers and the person that gave me the shot wasn't even hot :(
I’m getting wrecked right now, sore back, chills, lethargic as hell. Two more meetings then I’m laying down.
My honest thought is you'll see better adoption in the next couple of months, but I also wonder how that compares to how many adults got an annual flu shot prior to COVID?
Still waiting maybe one more month just to give my body the time it needs after my rushed old-style booster shot in early August, my fourth overall. I want that Omi booster.
anyone that got COVID in the last 6 months isn’t going to be in a rush to get it. and the perception of the latest strain being weaker also plays into putting it off
From that WaPo article Only about 105 million U.S. adults — roughly 40 percent — have received the third shot of vaccine initially offered a year ago, according to federal data, a far lower rate than countries like the United Kingdom, where more than 70 percent of adults have gotten a third dose. That figure is also well behind the 200 million U.S. adults who completed their primary series of shots. Early data shows that just over 11 million Americans — or about 4 percent of those eligible — have received the new bivalent booster shots. A third of adults say they eventually plan to get those shots, according to KFF polling
Of the 4 shots it made my arm hurt the worst but otherwise that was it. No fluish feeling like I had with I believe my second dose. It impacted my sleep it was so tender
I'm getting the updated booster next Saturday. Wife gave me covid back in May so I haven't been in too much of a rush but we're going in vacation early November so I want to be up to date.
The Florida surgeon general tweeting out nutty shit about not getting vaccinated is not going to help those numbers.
At this point, there isn’t anyone on the fence about getting the vaccine or not. The ones that haven’t aren’t ever going to get it.
82yo father finally got covid, probably from taking his harpy Ukrainian wife to the airport so she could go back to Ukraine. I asked him if he'd received the bivalent booster, and he said no, there's been too much stuff going on lately
This study cannot determine the causative nature of a participant’s death. We used death certificate data and not medical records. COVID testing status was unknown for those who did not die of/with COVID. Cardiac-related deaths were ascertained if an ACME code of I3-I52 were on their death certificate, thus, the underlying cause of death may not be cardiac-related. What a great reason to recommend not getting effective preventative measures, for a state that puts big efforts into avoiding recording deaths as covid deaths

That’s infuriating. There’s no question Fox News and alike are responsible for deaths. I don’t know how they sleep at night.
If anyone cares/for those curious about side effects...I went to bed with that fever and woke up feeling fine. No fever, felt back to normal. Barely 12 hours of feeling crummy, much of it spent sleeping
I didn't have a fever (that was noticeable) but I had chills which I only get with a fever and I never felt "bad" but I wasn't 100% either. Lethargic I guess.
I will be glad when this becomes less virulent simply because I don't exactly look forward to that 12-24 period right after getting vaccinated.
I know I’m in San Jose super vaccinated Area but my wife went to get her booster and flu shot at Kaiser and it was over an hour wait at 9am with huge lines of people waiting to get vaccinated, was nice to see…..now we are all boosted and flu vaccinated including my 3 year old
I got my second booster in July, after a pretty brutal covid experience. I also had the "paxlovid rebound" situation, and saw last night someone suggesting that might have led to even more antibodies. 2 booster shots, last one in July, likely omicron late may/early june. Do I need this? Or wait? Please hurry with reply we only have 2 days before the toxins activate. I don't want to miss out on the rapture.
We just approved the bivalent booster this week. Not sure when it will be available but if it isn’t within the next week and a half we are driving to Ogdensburg in upper NY to get one.
