Honestly, I’m tired of this. I am fully vaxed. Would LOVE to be eligible for any and all boosters, but currently the booster is only eligible for people with known Comorbidities. I HATE wearing masks. I can’t stand having my nose and mouth covered. At the same time, I have no desire to catch C19, so I wear my mask (plus it’s required in Japan). That said, I will continually complain about masking. I HATE IT!gianmarco said:
There is a work provision as well, anyone likely to contract the virus at work is eligible as well. So basically anyone with a job that isn't WFH qualifies.
Made this comment before, but it’s shocking how much regional variation exists in approach to the pandemic.AAABatteries said:
I went to a Latino festival with my wife and kids in the big park near my house this last weekend. We passed by the City Health Department truck and they were giving out covid vaccines (but not flu shots... I asked). After we told them we were vaccinated and the kids weren't eligible, the health worker asked if we wanted a booster. We said, "no, we're not eligible." But the lady was very insistent that it didn't matter. My wife, the one that works in public health research, was dismayed. We didn't get the booster and likely won't until the CDC recommends it for our age and health status.
What countries are lacking supply that we are hoarding?
Is living with two kids in school considered high risk, given the petri dishes of classrooms? (Im kidding)

Honestly with the wide approval for boosters (that I didn’t agree with) if you got Pfizer and are 6 months out, you’re probably eligible. Almost everyone who had their second dose by early April meets the age, health condition or occupational exposure.
If you know the supply and they would expire then he choice seems obvious. I also don't know why the same group doing COVID vaccines couldn't also do flu shots. I mean, I understand why because of the costs, health insurance, etc. but it's dumb not to combine covid booster and flu shot.
Yeah it definitely makes sense to have the flu shot but I think billing is the issue. COVID shots are owned by the government and free regardless of insurance coverage. Flu shot inventory has to be paid for and billed. Partnering with a pharmacy could accomplish that.
Just Pfizer so far. They’re meeting next week to discuss Moderna, J&J and mixing vaccines.
Singapore is over 80% vaxxed. Their number of infected are higher than ever before. I think they said 50% are vaxxed people.
It's kind of known with certainty that mixing COVID vaccines is totally fine, isn't it? It would shock the heck out of researchers if it caused any kind of real problem.
Right, it’s all about showing benefits of a combo, I don’t think safety is even a concern. In the pharmacy world we’re restricted by the official protocols which need strong data to get approved. I’m already planning booster clinics for Moderna and J&J because I think at least mix and match will get approved for both.
The majority of Americans have comorbidities which includes obesity so most qualify as having an underlying health condition.Dezbelief said:
+/- IMO. Unless you work in a high risk occupation, or hang out with a bunch of vulnerable people.

I was mildly under the weather for about 24 hours after shot #3. For reference, I had no side effects that I can recall after shot #1, and I was moderately sick for about 12 hours after shot #2. For me personally, the third shot was in the middle.
I had negligible side effects from the first two shots, but felt run down for a couple days following the booster. Nothing terrible, just chills and fatigue.
I had no real reaction to the first 2 (about what I do to a flu shot), but I felt like doodoo the next day after the 3rd. No fever or chills, just an overall lethargic/blah feeling. Went away about 24 hours after the shot.
Sweden has halted any vaccinations w/Moderna for people under 30. First, 2nd, or 3rd shot.
Everything i have read says wait until 8 months. Im immunocompromised so i could have gotten mine at 6 months. But my doc says wait. Plus im in a study that tracks antibodies and they are still high(its not just the antibodies that indicate protection though). So, ill wait until 8 months so that the 3rd dose is effective for longer.
Well, it's definitely news, since these two countries just limited access to the vaccine for part of the population.
I have no idea. But it's significant to me in that Nordic countries are limiting the vaccine to younger people at the same time California is mandating it. That's quite a wide divergence.
They aren't limiting all vaccines for under 30, only moderna. Much like Pfizer for 16 year olds. While yes it surprising and a little "concerning", all vaccines aren't being stopped. Just under 30 will get Pfizer in Finland.
Similar experience here. But just got the flu shot. Booster next month. Guy said they are slammed with vaccinations of both kinds.
So far I'm 10 hours post booster and feel perfectly fine which is how I felt after #2
Spoke too soon. Woke up at 4am feeling a little achy. Took some Motrin and fell asleep once it kicked in. Feel much better now except I am fatigued. Unfortunately, I have to go coach my son's travel team tonight so gonna power through it but would love to take a nap right now lol. Hopefully feel better by tomorrow.
Good luck man. Kick Covid’s ###!Jobber said:
