Beachcomber posted:Moderna is better, though, right? Between variants, infections, and the lag between development and what’s spreading by the time shots are ready to get in arms, it’s kind of a crapshoot. Moderna has a bit more active ingredient and seems to last a little longer with the trade off of slightly higher side effects at the time of inoculation. So basically don’t wait if one or the other is available get it.

I’ve heard mixing them is really the best solution. But I’m not a doctor so consider that as accurate as eating horse pills

I’ve had pfive pffizzer pfvaxes and the only side effect has been some noticeable arm soreness and only this most recent one, which is reassuring that it’s doing something

is that what the P jab is called? also why they got to have special nicknames now, just keep letting people call it the [company-disease] jabs.

Beachcomber posted:Moderna is better, though, right? It was, by a small but significant margin, but I'm not sure at this point - like someone else said, I haven't been tracking vaccine effectiveness as closely as I used to. Personally, I'm going with Pfizer again because my experience with the Moderna side effects was brutal, but I think there is going to be a lot of individual variation with that. My first 3 COVID shots were Moderna, 4th was Pfizer, and the difference in side effects was night and day for me. For someone else their experience could be the exact opposite.

I got the newest Moderna jab and the flu shot in the same arm about a week ago and other than some pain that made me have to adjust my sleeping position for a few days, I didn't get any side effects. This was COVID shot number 5 overall, all Moderna, never got side effects beyond the first one where I was a bit more tired than usual that afternoon. Also got a tetanus booster in my other arm and that one's been more itchy and the shot site has stayed a bit tougher feeling longer. Should've asked for Tdap while I was there too and really been powered up...

It would've been nice if any of the pharmacy COVID pre-screenings for the new shot asked "did you have COVID in the last 90 days?" as a disqualifier instead of me spending a week hunting down an appointment, going in, and then being told I can't have the shot.

Yeah especially since national guidance is that you’re good to go as soon as “isolation has been discontinued”. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/downloads/pre-vaccination-guidelines.pdf If pharmacies want to make their own rules, they ought to be upfront about it.

The pharmacy where I tried to get my flu shot got weird last year because I had the monkeypox shot shortly before trying to get it and they wouldn't give me the flu shot, and they also told me I absolutely needed to cancel the covid shot I had coming up at a different pharmacy. I did not. The other pharmacy was not filled with crazy people thankfully and I got all my shots in a timely manner. The lady behind me also said under her breath "embarassing" after I mentioned the monkeypox shot, I really should have made a loud as gently caress gay scene tbh, get that lady really embarrassed. She was a loving boomer too, probably filled to the brim with Hep C. Private Cumshoe fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Oct 2, 2023 |

Being vaccinated against orthopoxviruses is cool & good. I would have accepted the Aventis Pasteur Smallpox Vaccine that’s been in deep freeze since 1956 if they’d let me.

Whatever Private Cumshoe* meant, sounds like it would be a fun party that Judgy McFuckface, the bigot in line, would not enjoy. *Disclaimer: Private Cumshoe may not actually be the stereotypical fun-time partying gay dude as seen on popular media. He may actually just want to be responsible when it comes to prairie dog handling, or just in case he meets the love of his life at board game night, or wants to be responsible in case of an unending string of random hookups, who gives a poo poo. Whatever the case, that lady is an rear end in a top hat. Although I would suggest that of anyone runs into someone being all judgy about the monkey pox vaccine, you should definitely spin some sob story about taking custody of a pair of prairie dogs, that may have monkey pox, after their original owner died of leukemia or something.

astral posted:The T in Tdap is for Tetanus. Are you sure you didn't get Tdap? Nope, just tetanus. They're two separate things on the selection and I swear the whole of "Tdap" wasn't written out when I scheduled it, or I would've probably just gotten that. The pharmacist person was talking about the "p" in it (pertussis) how people forget to boost that one, I guess, but that's not something separate on their list. I'll remember in another 10 years or so do to it right.

Purely anecdotal but I've heard from multiple folks in my circle that the latest strain doesn't show up in tests until well after you've already got symptoms. Edit: like a few days after symptoms show up. Goon hivemind: Total BS or is there a nugget of truth to it? chainchompz fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Oct 2, 2023 |

I did see a study recently that suggests rapids are a coin flip until the third and fourth day of symptoms: CIDRAP: Evolving peak SARS-CoV-2 loads relative to symptom onset may influence home-test timing The New Normal: Delayed Peak SARS-CoV-2 Viral Loads Relative to Symptom Onset and Implications for COVID-19 Testing Programs “Median SARS-CoV-2 viral loads, as measured by polymerase chain reaction cycle threshold (Ct) and antigen concentrations, rose from symptom onset, peaking on the fourth or fifth day of symptoms. Estimated rapid antigen test sensitivity was 30.0% to 60.0% on the first day, 59.2% to 74.8% on the third, and 80.0% to 93.3% on the fourth.”

Were they not contagious before then? I don’t see how they couldn’t be, with sore throats and snot flying out their nose. So idk what the gently caress is up but yea my anec-data says this one is a slow roller

My sister sounds more on the verge of death than usual, nonstop horrible coughing, has permabronchitis from smoking and drinking without much stopping. She doesn't believe in vaccines  Or basic hygiene, sleeping, nutrition, or eating much in general, but the cough is way worse and I bet it's covid lol

Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to take a 3 hour bus ride, then drive 6 hours with my elderly and sick parents, then spend several days with them shuttling them to medical appointments and finally catch a flight home. I was masked the whole time but I know that it's still a dice roll.
