[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only the 65+ folks in my family got the 2nd booster. We all ended up with COVID after a family trip last week. I’ll say that those of us with 1 booster have been hit pretty hard, compared to those with 2 boosters. [/quote]

Can you clarify? Because I'd assume someone with 2 boosters (the last one being quite recent) should be essentially asymptomatic or have an extremely mild case at this point if they are infected. So even a day of fever or malaise could seem like being hit hard compared to those people...but many of us have a fever and day of malaise with each shot. Are 3x vaccinated, healthy people really getting that sick from Covid at this point? (I totally get the "I'd rather not get sick at all" but it seems to me you'd have to get boosted every 2-4 months at this point if that were your goal.)[/quote]

DP. My parents are both double boosted and they both got Covid this spring. It was very mild but they were still sick. Basically a very mild cold that I think a lot of people would have chosen to just work through pre-Covid. My mom had actually also had it before getting the second booster and she was more sick that time (so she is now triple vaccinated AND has had Covid twice).

My dad actually had a pre-op appointment while he was still testing positive for Covid, and his doctor had him come into the office anyway for the appointment (they took extra precautions for this) because by the time of his appointment he was totally symptom free and they really did not want to reschedule his operation. I was pretty surprised about that but I guess doctors/hospitals are having to find solutions like that otherwise you'd be rescheduling all kinds of procedures due to asymptomatic Covid in people with multiple vaccinations. I'm really glad my dad could have his surgery when he did.[/quote]
