I got my Pfizer booster on Friday and had a fever and chills Friday night like with my second dose. I only felt terrible for 12 hours instead of 36 hours this time.

I'm only 205 pounds and qualify as obese even though I'm just average height. I'm definitely trying to lose this weight and have been doing well at it but it's crazy to me that I'm considered obese still and not just overweight because I really feel quite mobile and healthy these days Aren't current and former smokers eligible for a booster in the US? That's pretty much the most unprovable personal attribute ever, sure random pharmacist, I used to smoke a pack a day until last year, cough cough.

Just booked my booster tomorrow morning at Meijer. Hopefully this is as uneventful as the first two shots.

Do you bring your original vaccine card to the booster appointment? Or do they give you a separate card?

No, thanks to a last minute save by Walensky the guidance includes people who face "exposure in the workplace" which can be defined as everyone, because saying an unboosted nurse is at risk of infection is tacit admission that all of us are. This happened ~3 weeks ago, the CDC/FDA didn't make a big deal out of announcing it because the government doesn't care if we die. smoobles fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Oct 10, 2021 |

The CDC recommends the following: People 65 years and older should receive a booster shot; Residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot; people age 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot; people age 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot, based on their individual benefits and risks; and people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional settings, including healthcare workers, may receive a booster shot, based on their individual benefits and risks. Anyone who isn't a homer is in the last category, along with those who are and potentially have to get called in to work And yeah, think about what it means that they're recommending boosters for any adult who may be exposed to covid instead of just those with medical issues Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Oct 10, 2021 |

Just put into the CVS website that your last dose was on the legit date but in 2020 and their computer system will let you make the appointment and then you just show up and aint nobody saying poo poo to you. If they do just be like "whoops huh...? What? Huh??" until they give you the shot anyway.

I'm unfortunately going to need to travel at the end of this month, so I'm really hoping I can get my booster now, even though it hasn't been quite 6 months yet. I really am in a vulnerable group, with a small but scary collection of comorbidities, but I won't be at 6 months from my second Pfizer until the 21st -- too late for it to be at the ideal two week mark by the time I need to travel. Any chance they'll just give it to me anyway, do you guys think, or should I go the "I'm totes immunocompromised!" route.

I know this is from a page back but I'm just sort of  at the fact that he's directly implying in tweet #6 that A DANGEROUS SHOT would be completely fine if it was illegal immigrants. Like yeah, obviously republicans as a group see people of color as subhuman and want them to die and doubly so if they're "foreigners", but I didn't expect him to say the quiet part so loudly.Also man they really are using "spike proteins" as a scare tactic, huh? BIG PHARMA wants to put DANGEROUS SPIKES inside YOUR SACRED BODY. And he also goes on to say that the hospital staff aren't "forcing any harmful protocols on me". Unlike those drat evil LIB doctors and their harmful protocols that they selfishly force on patients. Feel like I remember some kind of oath they had to take in medical school about that, even. What was it again, "do harm, do a lot of harm in fact, to good old-fashioned God-fearing Americans specifically"? I know it's pointless to try and argue with this poo poo but god, it's truly just... Every line is a new, more insane contradiction.

You can look at their site quote:I need to schedule an extra dose. I am fully vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna and have a weakened immune system —OR— I need to schedule a booster. I’ve been fully vaccinated with Pfizer for over 6 months and am 65 or older; a resident of a long-term care facility; I am 18 or older and I have an underlying health condition putting me at high risk for severe COVID-19; or I am 18 or older and at high risk due to occupational or institutional exposure. https://www.cvs.com/vaccine/intake/store/cvd/dose-select It's not a booster formulation so if you'd rather wait for a half strength dose or whatever go nuts.

The all-caps "-- OR --" means you can't mix & match criteria between the two sides of it. The only official grounds for Moderna #3, currently, is immunocompromise. If they gave it to you on your reasoning, they either hosed up or didn't care enough to debate you.

Fallom posted:I got my 3rd Moderna shot at CVS under the same criteria. You can look at their site It’s written poorly, but the intent is that all phrases set off with semicolons has “I’ve been fully vaccinated with Pfizer for over 6 months” as a precondition. That said, Calvinball rules are in effect. You could get a pharmacist who wants to help everyone, or you could get a pharmacist who wants to gatekeep above and beyond the official criteria.

Ah I see the wording now. For what it's worth, I scheduled online and they just administered the shot to me at CVS. At no point was there a discussion or argument. It's worth the effort to try.

Just had some idiot on my friend's page say the covid vaccine is killing more people than it saves. Told him to get tf outta here with his TikTok medical advice. Whole house had covid a few months back and the only real lovely part was being so drat tired. Got the shot, only lovely part of that was three days of joint pain. Tried stacking wood during that time and it was not fantastic.

Airplane travel Wednesday coming back from seeing my family for the first time in 2 years. Breakthrough symptoms started last night. Haven't got a pcr test yet but come on what else can it be. This poo poo sucks even with the vaccine, fuuuck. Total knockout most of sunday. Don't fly, motherfuckers on planes are shits about masking. And the attendants only tell people to put their masks at the start of the flight, afterwards they just ignore it. Plus some people have figured out the ultimate loophole -- you don't have to mask when eating. So just bring snacks and continuously munch on poo poo for the whole flight! Next time I see someone eating a whole bag of chips for the entire 2 hour flight, I will loving piss in the bag.

Yeah I was concerned I was gonna have anything physical lingering because I haven't done gently caress all in weeks and picking up heavy poo poo was exhausting for a while there, but I got out playing football this weekend and I feel great, I think it was the inactivity more than the rona.

PhazonLink posted:FL or Japan? As of October 1, something like 60% of Japan was double vaxxed, with over 70% at least single vaxxed. Tokyo numbers are even higher but I don't have exact figures. The issue in Japan, despite the governments constant "concerns", was not that people were vaxx hesitant its that the government took its time approving it here (about 4 months behind the US) and then had gently caress-all supply for the first few months. There were some very heated confrontations for lottery slots even just a month a go for vaccines. Barudak fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Oct 11, 2021 |

June is the first month any district in tokyo was allowed to start vaccinating people outside of first responders/medical staff/politicians/extreme eldery (80+), and it started smaaaaall with my ward of 250,000 people getting a total of 400 doses for all of June to cover people.

You can find all of this info here. that's for first-dose, use the drop-down to see fully-vaccinated. Japan really only got started propertly in June, but has been at a consistently good rate since.

Raskolnikov2089 posted:This is for Pfizer, not Moderna. Moderna booster talks are this week. Fallom posted:I got my 3rd Moderna shot at CVS under the same criteria. There's actually two different criteria announced by the CDC at two different times: a 3rd mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) shot for moderate to severely immunocompromised people (at least 28 days after their 2nd shot) announced back in mid August and a booster Pfizer shot (at least 6 months after their 2nd Pfizer shot) for anyone over 65 or anyone 18+ with underlying conditions or who lives or works in a high risk setting, announced late September. Boosters for Morderna and other vaccines haven't been approved yet. 3rd shots and boosters are technically two different things, although a lot of news articles were also referring to the 3rd shots as boosters. Edit: a further complication is that from what I've heard a lot of pharmacists were also uncertain about these criteria, or had printouts from head office that listed a few examples of what qualified as immunocompromised and refused to acknowledge any other conditions, or made up their own version of the criteria and were gatekeeping the shots and turning people away which also caused a lot of confusion. You could go to one pharmacy and get treated like a criminal and refused service but walk a block down the street and go to a different pharmacy and get your extra shot super easy by just ticking a check box on a form, no other questions asked.

To be fair that happened during the rollout of shot 1 too. There was a lot of similar "wack a mole" style gatekeeping. It's just the nature of things moving so quickly and not wanting to get sued.
