Will you get the new Omicron updated booster?

Oh no @AprilBaby, Please take good care of yourself. I hope you have a light case with mild symptoms.


Yes, I’m planning to get the new shot soon.
 
I will not, unless forced to by work. I had COVID in May after 3 vaccines and it was mild enough that I was back at work by day 6. My parents had COVID, were triple vaccinated, and just had COVID again in July. I am pretty tired of the endless boosters.

I had my three jabs and consider myself fit and healthy.
I got Covid a few weeks ago.
OMG I was soooooo sick. Seriously sick. I hate to imagine how sick I might have been without my jabs.
When I’m eligible for my 4th (and any number of extra booster after) stand aside lest I trample you getting to the front of the queue.

I instantly made an appointment as soon as I found out they were out. The vaccine doesn’t keep you from getting it.

I hear you @oakleaf..I also would like vaccines, wearing masks, etc..to be over..but the vaccines help with the severity. I have some issues along with my age so I need all the help I can get.
 
We are getting our 2nd booster today - Moderna. Dreading the side effects. All 3 jabs lefts me with a very sore arm for about a week, exhaustion and injection site rash.

This one will be the updated booster so you may have a different reaction or non at all. I hope this one is easier on you.

thank you - I sure hope it's not as bad as the past 3
 
Well….I got the vaccine at noon on Wednesday..Thursday I felt fine except that my temp is usually 97.5…I started running 98.7 which means it was brewing. I felt fine..It went back down to 97.5 last night which is what always happens. Today I woke up feeling a little off. I started feeling a little sweaty. I decided to take my temp..98.8..This is very weird for me. I also slept like a log last night and woke up at 8:45! I am sleep deprived but I never sleep that long.
It makes me wonder if it’s the vaccine or I’m coming down with something.
@AprilBaby How are you doing?
 
Both Greg and I just got the Moderna bivalent vaccine at our local pharmacy. They got it in yesterday so I canceled at the pharmacy that was further. Now the fun begins. Lol

Our pharmacist told us this vaccine actually begins working immediately with maximum effect at 7-10 days. He said it should last 8-14 months but that’s just an educated guess.
 
So glad you and Greg got yours today @missy

That’s great!!! I had a delayed reaction this morning but I’m fine now..I’m so glad Greg decided to get it!!
 
No reaction at all, even the injection site isn’t sore today.

Thanks @Austina and @MamaBee and I’m glad you’re both doing well with minimal (or no) adverse effects.

As Joanne knows Greg was on the fence about getting it because he’s had some symptoms he attributes to the initial four vaccines. I told him I’d understand if he decided not to get it but ultimately he decided to get it to protect me. I pray he doesn’t experience any long term adverse effects. I’m sure I’ll be coming down with a fever and chills by this evening and through tomorrow at least. We’ll see.

I still think getting vaccinated is preferable to coming down with Covid unvaccinated. The vaccine should prevent severe disease in most.
 
I totally agree @missy, we won’t know for sure if the vaccine has had any effect on us, but I’d rather live with that risk than risk getting Covid. Before the vaccine, none of us knew if we’d even survive Covid if we got it, now we know people who’ve been vaccinated and have had Covid and recovered.

Only we can decide on our level of risk regarding the vaccines, if we ever want to lead any kind of normal life again.

Totally agree. We’re on the same page @Austina

And it still stuns and amazes me that most here don’t wear masks anymore. Including our pharmacist. I asked Greg how can educated people not wear masks. We know masks do protect against Covid. Greg said everyone is tired and they just don’t care anymore. It’s sad imo.

Something as simple as wearing a mask can keep one healthy. Why wouldn’t everyone do it? I have asthma and lung issues. I don’t love wearing a mask. However I plan on wearing my mask for as long as I deem it necessary. It’s worth the inconvenience. Period.

The fact so many don’t agree is mind boggling. Yes people vary but common sense is in short supply. IMO
 
Not mild. I am immunocompromised so I have tried so hard not to get this. Severe headache, chills, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, head so stuffed I couldn’t breathe, ringing ears, skin hurts to touch. It’s not in my lungs. I got paxlovid last night and it’s subsiding but it also has a good size relapse rate. Thank you one year old grandson.
 
Yes soon, but not sure when.

Sorry you are feeling so ill @AprilBaby...hope you wake feeling much better today. How is your dear grandson doing?
 
15 hours post Moderna bivalent booster:
So I had a bit of a challenging night because the arm where I received the booster is quite sore. As in difficult to even lift it. the soreness set in three hours after the vaccination. I had to sleep on my back all night because trying to sleep on my right side (the side I usually sleep on) still hurt my left arm.

I feel achy all over too. I am not sure if I have a fever but will check later.

Hope everyone is feeling well. And for those who have Covid now may your recovery be speedy and full.
 
@AprilBaby Are you any better today?
I hope your grandson is doing okay…

@missy Take your temp early after lunch... That’s when my temperature started rising..
 
Our household has finally been stricken with Covid, so I will just have to wait!

@AprilBaby, I'm sorry you've been hit so hard and I'm hoping you're feeling better soon. Hopefully the medication will continue to help. Sending good thoughts to your grandson too. Take care <3
 
The grandson had a miserable few days and is feeling better. Now mom and dad, older sister and the in-laws have it but mild. Today my head is clear, day 3 paxlovid. I have sore throat, light headache and cough. Skin still hurts to touch and my ears still hurt. On the funny side, I’m going to need an industrial razor when this is over. Thank goodness for nice weather. I’m in the spare room with a rocking chair and table, windows open to look outside and get fresh air.
 
I wish you all vaccinated and unvaccinated people to go through this as easily as I did ( it was mild for me as an unvaxxed btw)!
 
So far it’s mild but sadly youngest child has been hit the hardest. Fever (high but not alarmingly so), said limbs feel “heavy like bricks” terrible sore throat, and chills.

It almost seems like flu meets strep. I am currently living in the kitchen with the cat, who seems confused but happy I’m here. Windows are open and blowing fresh air. Other kiddo is hunkered down in their room, fiancé is on the other side of the house enjoying his (possibly temporary) Covid free status.

It sounds like you and your grandson are on the mend.. @AprilBaby..Did you test yourself or go to a test to treat place? I’m wondering how you got the Paxlovid.
 
I feel weird that it hasn’t been tested on people and that they have no idea of the effectiveness in people.

I’ll probably still get it. I just feel a little insecure.
