D&D and the rising pandemic

[Thomas Shey]

Not yet. I get my covid booster tomorrow, and the current recommendation I've been given is to not get them at the same time. I was expecting to pop down to my local drug store to get a flu shot a few days afterwards.

Interesting. The CVS I went to for my booster Wednesday was offering dual vaccine appointments. I'm guessing this is one of those things there's differences of opinion on.

Soeaking of other vaccines. enworlder in the North Hemisphere, have you had the flu shot yet? (I just had it yesterday)

Full family got flu shots several weeks to a bit over a month ago, and the two of us old enough to got the COVID boosters. (The 12yo got his first COVID shot on his bday at the end of summer and finished up on schedule).

I got both at the same time earlier this week. Took about 36 hours to not feel terrible. I recommend spreading them out if that's a problem for you, but honestly it was probably better for me to have both at once because I would have just procrastinated about getting the flu shot otherwise.

Like I said, I had my flu vax weeks ago; this was just the booster.

Mind you, I may have had some extra fatigue yesterday from that, but if so, it wasn't severe and didn't seem as strong as after the second regular dose.

Flu a few weeks ago. Covid booster about 90 minutes ago. Got Pfizer to go with my Moderna.

Poke-A-Man! Gotta collect them all!

The only vaccination I have left on 2021’s schedul is my 2nd shingrix shot.

I've seen certain groups referred to elsewhere as Nergal cultists (a W40K reference to the god of disease apparently), and prior to this I thought that was (not inaccurate) hyperbole. Now I'm not even sure its hyperbole.

Yep. My Dad (MD) is rightfully pissed off, but Mom is simply horrified. She keeps coming back to it every few hours.

That's one I get to skip because I'm in the rare case of never having had chicken pox (this came up when my wife did have an outbreak of shingles about a year ago. Lemme tell you how fun it can be trying to find the adult chicken pox vaccine during a pandemic...)

Surprisingly, dead easy here. I just have to schedule an appointment (actually two, I think). Covered by my employee health plan too.

Well, I guess I won't be getting a booster tomorrow. I made the appointment days ago, and they just called me to tell me that their systems erroneously opened up several hundred appointments that they don't have product or staff to fulfill. So, I go back to the drawing board trying to find an appointment.

Of course, the state just opened up booster availability to everyone, so... I don't expect to have great luck.
