Getting the new booster today.
Baby 2 arrives shortly and the hospital has brought back mask mandate.

Fun times....

Where do you have the mask mandate?

In the same situation and likely getting the covid booster tonight or tomorrow. Got the flu one yesterday.

1. Congrats worm!

2. Are the boosters widely available yet?

Called the local shoppers to make sure it was the new booster and they confirmed it is.

Halton region.

mine is booked for a week from now, so thanks for answering this question for me…was wondering the same thing when the topic came up. (I’d just assumed it was)

At the hospital. Edmonton. I think it is just the hospital we are going to so probably a fun outbreak there.

(I honest didn't even know it went away)

Flu shot arm is fine. Covid arm is painful.

Is it a Bivalent shot? What’s the new one involve aside from 5G

 

[CH1]

I know of a few people who are lining up for the flu shot but want nothing to do with the new Covid formulation. I guess people don’t want to feel yuk for 24 hrs

 

[trujaysfan]

Flu shot arm is fine. Covid arm is painful.

Any other covid reactions? Just got mine.

 

[trujaysfan]

Also apparently ontario has a high risk only requirement until Oct 30th but it looks like 80+% of appointments are going unused

A lot of pharmacies in Ottawa just got their covid vaccine today. I got my flu shot yesterday and the covid 19 was not yet available. My daughter did get both today.

 

[worm]

Any other covid reactions? Just got mine.

Nope. Still pretty sore but not bad enough to stop me from playing hockey tonight.

Have you had the vid as well? I know my Bivalent kicked my ass.

 

[trujaysfan]

So far so good today... a little tired.

Had the Pfizer XBB one. Moderna has kicked my butt in the past.

Ya, at least once.

Arm is mostly back to normal now (40 hours later).

 

[anne25]

Got my covid 19 vaccination today. So far, unlike the flu shot that made my arm sore-ish for a couple of days, no discomfort.
Hopefully it stays that way.
