Just got back from Walgreen's

after getting my Covid Booster! Did not even feel it. Expecting sore arm in the morning as was the case with the first 2 vaccines. I asked a young gal working the pharmacy window if she was vaccinated and she said she has a brain lesion so her doc said wait for more info before diving in. Said she is being really careful though. Had a mask on. Count ourselves lucky that we are able to go out and get the vaccines. 'Nite all.

Went in for a PCR test, thinking we were going to Canada (decided not to). Found out while there we could get the booster!!

No after-effects to speak of!

Had a routine wellness check last week. The NP told me to wait 8 months for Moderna booster, which would be December for me. She said not to get Pfizer. Nothing against Pfizer, just that I should stick with the same brand because their booster doses are based on the earlier shots, which were different for the two brands. From what I have read about Moderna's planned booster, it is more effective to wait until 8 months than to get it at 6.

That is how they tested it. You still are good to go with great protection!

Wanted to get that bad boy done before someone changed their mind again. So great to have the chance again! All the nurses I work with getting it now that a few of us jumped in to go first. Hospital “not recommending it yet”. Screw that.

stores with every vaccine. Despite that, scheduling times on the CVS website were all available for same-day vaccinations.
