New covid vaccines are out! Anyone else make an appointment?

[BrianNole777]

I made one for 2 weeks from now. I've received 5 Moderna shots and am getting Pfizer for #6.

I know most Americans don't believe in vaccines or science, but I do.

Anyone else excited to get vaxxed again?

No more excited than I am to be getting a flu shot. But I'll get both.

 

[VodkaSam]

I suppose I’ll probably get both. Flu shot for sure, and will see what my Doc says about current Covid vaccine.

 

[coasterhawk75]

Because I'm at risk, I'm getting the new Covid shot, flu shot, and the Dr. wants me to get the new RSV vaccine as well.

 

[HawkeyeHitman]

Anyone who gets a shot is emotionally and mentally unstable. You are also physically weak.
I beat COVID by eating steak, fresh greens and fruit. Lifting weights and staying off of antidepressants and drugs. Maintaining a healthy and positive attitude about life.

 

[The Tradition]

If they give them for free at the office like they do for the flu shot every year, then I'll probably have to succumb to the peer pressure.

RSV absolutely kicked my ass last year. I was going to ask my doctor if I should get the vaccine even though I'm under 60

One thread telling everyone you were on your 6th wasn't enough?

FDA approves new covid vaccine!

I'm thrilled. I've received 5 Moderna vaccines and can't wait for #6. Anyone else love vaccines? I know most Americans are anti-vaxxers. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/09/11/covid-vaccines-fda-approves-new-shots-from-pfizer-moderna.html

For my 10th. I'm not going to kill grandma like some 6 jab rookie.

This is what trying way to hard looks like lol.

 

[BrianNole777]

I have an appointment for covid vaccine #6 at in 8 days!

 

[lucas80]

I'll get both the flu vaccine and a covid booster because I'm not a drooling buffoon.

How about RSV?

Are you over 60?

Wow - spoken like a true RFK Jr fan. Did you allow your kids to get measle and small pox shots?

 

[An Iowa fan]

I got my flu shot and RSV vaccine this past week.
Covid: I was told to be patient.

You're a great supporter of vaccines, I imagine. 😀

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

I'll get it along with flu

I’d say personal not necessarily private. You can choose to share or not share about yourself. If there’s say something only you know about say a spouse, I’d call that private and not yours to share.

Nope. Had COVID three times. Lived. Had my 4 original shots. I don’t see that the new shots offer me anything at all except 3 days of feeling sick. Like the last 4. I think my immunity from the vaccines and the illnesses have me pretty much maxed out at this point.

If a new killer strain arises and a new vax seems helpful, sure, sign me up.

Elderly, chronically ill, immunocompromised…yes they should get it. Prior vaccine exposure limited? Yep get it. Prior actual illnesses limited? Yep. Get it.

None of those apply to me.

The CDC recommends everyone over age 6 months get the new vaccine.

Just FYI.

Yep. I’m sure they do. Their objectivity is in question.

I don’t think most medical practitioners today would agree with that recommendation as broadly as it is stated.

I don’t think the Walgreens pharmacist counts as a medical practitioner by the way.

 

[GOHOX69]

@GOHOX69 thoughts?

I will not be getting it. There are enough therapeutic options to manage covid and not enough longitudinal vaccine data. Numerous clinicians I've spoken to have reservations regarding significant side effects.

Personal knowledge.

Such as?

Microscopic blood clots in the lung and brains. Incidence rates which were considered "rare" might not be that rare. Moreover, there are effective anti-virals for covid if necessary.

What’s different between a Walgreens pharmacist and any other pharmacist? Do you trust a pharmacist or a family doctor more when it comes to meds?

And as I've said many times, you do you. People should do what they want but should never be forced. This isn't the Dr. Mengele clinic.

It’s about a pharmacist recommending it. Not Walgreens per se.

Family doctor. 100% of the time. This isn’t a medication in the traditional sense so I don’t think your pharmacist is the person I’d consult.

 

[BrianNole777]

I agree, I just don't see the downsides to the covid vaccines for the vast majority of people.

Personal knowledge.

What's your personal knowledge regarding the CDC?

 

[Gus is dead]

No, I have personal knowledge regarding what medical professionals are recommending.
