COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[Iormlund]

All I got from my Pfizer shots (all three) was a slightly sore shoulder for a day or two (only really noticeable when I turned to sleep on that side).

[Caliga]

Still surprised how many of you are getting your booster shots.  I'm still not eligible.

But maybe it's just the after-effects of Canada being behind the curve in the spring to begin with.  I mean I won't be 6 months post-second-shot until the end of this month anyways, so there's no hurry yet...

In US America, you're basically eligible if you say that you are eligible.

Booster is available after 4 months here. I got mine after 5 months and a bit.

You've got a booster already? Only my parents got one so far, and you're not *that* old

IIRC he's at risk due to a previous health condition.

Ahhh true. Was wondering if other regions were further along than us.

It was 5 months and a week post-second shot. Threshold was recently changed from 6 to 5 months over here, for all over 18.

That's very... specific.

Over here it's 6 months from second shot, for 60+, First Nations, and people with specified immune deficiencies (I don't qualify under this list).  There are unspecified plans to over time reduce the age limit to 18+.

[Duque de Bragança]

People over 60, specific immune deficiencies, comorbidities have had access to the booster shot earlier.

I got one over a month ago. My parents are not even boosted yet.

I guess it's likely due to my meds, which lower my defenses. Curiously enough they didn't made much of a difference until I switched jobs and mingled with parents of young children (and even then it merely meant I caught a couple extra colds a year).

Strangely my weakened immune system didn't matter for the first two shots. They seem to have changed priorities for the booster, but it's all a clusterfuck so who knows.

Now that I think of it it might have been the arrhythmia study I got done in October that tipped the scales. They called me just a few days after I got discharged. Though technically the results of the study were somewhat positive (in that I'm not likely to die from it).

I get my booster 3 days before Christmas. Because I am older and wiser and make food for poor people.

[Josquius]

My dad has had his 3rd.
Pretty bad reaction from it.
Asking what type, apparently its a new sort called spievax?

[Duque de Bragança]

Spikevax you mean?

It's Moderna.

Booster booked for Weds... outside Belmarsh.
