COVID BOOSTERS
#1I'm sure most of you know it, but booster shots have been approved for J&J and Moderna.
Appointments are going fast, so if your wanting one it's time to get on the schedule.

#5The "on again, off again" from CDC has messed up me getting mine but now I should finally get in and get stuck with Booster, Superflu, and this year I'll get the Shingles too.

Re: COVID BOOSTERS
#7Got my Shingrix dosages last year and like my Moderna series, I had rather robust immune responses (102 fever, body aches, headache, etc.) for about 12 hours. I've learned to time these things for Thursday/Friday so I don't mess up my workweek.

#10yeah, have heard that when you're over 50 you should do that, but never have, (heard it's a pain in the butt)
got my covid booster last week of Sept, next flu shot coming up this week

#11I'm pretty sure Chuckles was being sarcastic when he brought up getting a colonoscopy.. Truth be told, as long as you allow a little time off, they're no big deal.
Re: COVID BOOSTERS
#12Had a twofer (endoscopy and colonoscopy) a couple of weeks ago, slept blissfully through the whole thing. As Holdover said, no big deal.

#13Wife and I got boosted two weeks ago tomorrow.
I spent most of my money on shotguns, fly rods, guitars and banjos. The rest I just wasted. (Apologies to W.C. Fields)

Re: COVID BOOSTERS
#14People saying they got a vaccine is not a political discussion but sharing information about health issues and is germane as discussing fly fishing which some equate with torturing fish.
Re: COVID BOOSTERS
#15Color me naive but I didn't realize there was anything political about getting a booster shot. And more it has never occurred to me that discussing the economy had to be a "politically loaded discussion"!
Re: COVID BOOSTERS
#17I got Shingrix shot #1 in mid August, and just had real sore arm near injection site for a couple days and that was it. I wanted to wait and schedule the 2nd shot after I got the flu vaccine and Moderna booster. I got the flu shot beginning of this month and Moderna booster today, so will schedule Shingrix shot #2 for around end of next month after Thanksgiving.

Re: COVID BOOSTERS
#19Only if it goes into a finger pointing discussion about whether to shot it up or not will I kill this thread. Enough of that on FB if you want it. Sharing our info on how our boosters went is fine but let's keep it at that or add some humor as done with the colonoscopy crack.

#20I received my first Shingrix dose last fall along with my flu shot...when I got the second dose in January, I popped some Advil and didn't have as strong of a reaction...in hindsight I wonder if that was the smart thing to do since there has been some debate about whether ibuprofen/acetaminophen interfere with the body's immune response. Guess the jury's out on that...Heddon20 wrote: ↑10/25/21 21:27I got Shingrix shot #1 in mid August, and just had real sore arm near injection site for a couple days and that was it.
