What about when you catch it once the vaccine wears off in a few months? There’s no avoiding COVID exposure unless you want to pharmacy hop for boosters. COVID is part of the environment now, like the flu, RSV, and every other illness. That’s just reality.

Flu and Covid vaccines usually take me down for about 48 hours, so I also have to plan. Will probably get the Covid vaccine next week and the flu vaccine a few weeks later.

They really messed up not making money available for county / city / state vaccine clinics for states that wanted them. I find that to be so much easier than messing around with pharmacy appointment scheduling.


Easier than just walking into a CVS or Giant?

My parent recently died of covid, but they had multiple boosters, including one recently.


I’m sorry for your loss. Do you mind sharing how old they were?


They were older, and had covid a few times so it was surprising covid did them in. I'm not doing any more boosters. They aren't stopping transmission.

Yes, it is always shocking when old people die. You're supposed to live forever as long as you don't do anything wrong.

I had the initial 2 shot series and 2 boosters, and had Covid once in 2021. I’m good. The Covid boosters leave me sick for days and mess up my cycle. I may never get another one.

I get the flu shot because I don’t experience any side effects whatsoever.

No, most people do not have "long-term damage" from covid.

I was going to get this year's vaccination when Novavax became available, but my entire family came down with covid a month beforehand, so now I don't qualify (must be 3 months post-illness). I'm assuming, based on the fact that it seems like half the people I know have had covid already this fall, there's lots of others in my situation.
Kind of pointless to get it now.

There's no requirement to delay for 3 months after an infection.

It’s no different than the flu vaccine. You get it every year.

And what about the other 9 months of the year?

I've been avoiding getting the booster because I know I will be laid up for at least three days as I was for the last three shots. One of them had me feeling bad for about a week. I have had a couple of colds already his fall and am reluctant to feel sick again though I think I will at some point but that's my hesitation.

It's shocking when they had Covid several times and were ok, and then all of the sudden got it and died within a week. If it had not been for covid, they would be ok and alive. And they were boosted every six months.

About 180,000 people die of COVID per year (at the current rate) that is 3% of people that get COVID.


Where are you getting 180,000 from? We leveled off around 1,000 covid deaths per week. That's roughly the same as a bad flu year.


Statistica

Do you have a source that is different I like to cross check but it was surprisingly hard to find.
