I knew my question would summon the anti-vaccine idiot-brigade.
I'm not anti, I've had 3 doses.They sure aren't making it easy to get this one. I've had an appointment canceled at Safeway, and been to Walmart twice. First time told come back next week just walk in, and then turned away and told to make an appointment online when I did. Seriously just considering saying fuck it. It shouldn't be this fucking difficult.
Don't give up! The reason that's happening is that demand for the new doses is far outstripping predictions, so they're running out. That's going to taper off.
Managed to get phizer and the flu vax last Friday. My last 3 doses were Moderna with no major side effects, and this most recent phizer was the same. Arm ache, and maybe slight chills for a night. Thanks for encouraging me to try again. Think I was just trying to get them done too soon. Still didn't have a choice, phizer was all they had. I don't think there's much difference though, and either is probably better than none.
Yep, definitely. Despite Moderna kicking my butt for a day or two, I'm very glad I got it. Much rather not be part of the problem.
Who said anything about being anti vaccine? How about you fuck off if you ain't gonna answer?
It's a really stupid question. Of course people still vaccinate. There are two new strains going around that are rapidly increasing hospitalizations.
Where I am from, no there hasn't been any covid talk in a few months ...
So? Just because no one you know is talking about it doesn't mean it isn't happening. I'd bet if you called the local hospital and them if there's been an uptick in COVID-19 cases, they'd wonder what rock you've been living under.
For the record, the strain with the largest circulation right now is EG.5, which is a descendant of Omicron (which should give you an idea of how infectious it is).
