Autumn Booster ? Have you had yours ? [plse change vote when you do]

[Sue]

Ta. The top one is more of a sepia tint although that might be my monitor (I've got f.lux running)

Definitely pink.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Definitely pink.

Just turned off f.lux - definitely not pink. A weird pinky brown colour perhaps, but not pink.

This is pink - and it's very pink even with f.lux

 

[davesgcr]

Text received yesterday for both - but when got in touch was told (64 and no underlying problems etc) , advised not eligible (presumably for now) ..........

 

[LDC]

Had mine at NHS work yesterday, after the flu one Tuesday. Not sure which it was, didn't ask, assume Moderna.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Flu jab done this morning.

 

[kalidarkone]

Just had a covid jab.

 

[kalidarkone]

Just had a covid jab.

Have been feeling rough all week and off work. Woke up feeling marvellous no cold, cough. Had my jab at 11 am and now feeling rough again, cough and sneezing and sniffles have returned.....but I'd expected that really.

 

[Sasaferrato]

We go next week to have 'flu in one arm and Covid in the other. Same as last year.

 

[quiet guy]

Had the flu jab a couple of weeks ago. Turned up a bit late for my CV 19 booster due to atrocious weather and a change of location on Friday pm and found that they had already closed down for the day. Rescheduled for Thursday am now

 

[Puddy_Tat]

mum-tat (80+) had her (moderna) booster friday and has felt a bit crummy since.

she got the invite a couple of weeks ago, various reasons for not doing it sooner.

i've had invite to flu-jab, and none available when i tried to book on friday. think it will be a few weeks before my age band gets covid booster invites.

 

[stereotypical]

I had a booster (4th jab) early June, Moderna.

Was a bit rough off it IIRC. Worse than previous jabs.

 

[ska invita]

jab yesterday going to have to stay home today - feverish night - weird queasy unstable day ahead
much as i hate covid, needles, long covid, masks etc, i feel so lucky to be alive now at a time when we have vaccinations and medical science

the booster is "bivalent", basically including two strains of covid from what i understand, so even more for the immune system to deal with than usual

 

[elbows]

My mother received bivalent Pfizer today. She doesnt usually get any side effects but I'll report back if she does this time.

 

[LDC]

Jab on Friday update: zero side effects, not even sore arm.

 

[spellbinder]

Had mine yesterday, i've got a tender arm and slight headache - i'm not bothered normally, i sailed through all the others with no side effects.

 

[rubbershoes]

I missed mine yesterday as I had to take the dog to the vet.

Now rebooked for Monday

 

[ska invita]

has taken me two nights to get over it - interesting how everyone reacts so differently to the virus - a good example for how personal experience and anecdote are flawed when drawing bigger conclusions about things

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

booked

 

[DotCommunist]

Had pfizer yesterday and a flu shot at the same time. Never had a flu one before. Sore arm, sleepy this afternoon. Backed up a bit but thats codiene related and sennacot will be deployed.
Thats four shots now, haven't caught covid at all but also I'm not picking up 5g yet so swings and roundabouts imo.

 

[skyscraper101]

Had the flu one last week. Taking no chances with that on top of a covid surge. Not eligable for another covid one yet but I'm probably stil good for a bit with the 3 I had already and the bout of Covid in July.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

The come down is a bit rough but co-codamol and a wee dram of single malt def takes the edge off

 

[Chilli.s]

I have been unable to arrange them for myself, housebound mother and Alzheimer's dad to have at their house.

It seems that the computer says no.

To say I'm cross about this is an understatement

 

[dessiato]

I get mine today

 

[blossie33]

I'm unsure about getting a booster.
I was speaking to one of my Chigung class mates about it on Wednesday and she said the same, she knows five people who have felt really rough afterwards although, like both of us, they were fine after the first three.
Difficult decision but I think I'll probably not bother.

Feel a lot worse when (most likely) you catch it this winter .... Much higher risk of catching it now since there's no precaution taking out there. It's not fun having jabs but the pros far outweigh the cons i think

 

[cupid_stunt]

And, already covid is on the increase again, who knows how much worst it'll get this winter if people don't take up the booster.

This, and the fact I need it to go home, is why I'm getting mine.

Yes, I see what you mean, I'll have a think about it.

 

[StoneRoad]

blossie33 - I would strongly suggest that you get the current bivalent boosters ...
as has been said, there are already signs of another wave beginning.

 

[dessiato]

Given the current situation re covid, and how ill I was when I got it, despite triple vaccination, I'd urge everyone who can to get vaccinated.
