Finally got around to booking a COVID booster. Just waiting for the shot now. I figure with all the news of COVID and the flu I should stop being a lazy bum about it. Been lucky not to get COVID so far.
Edit: Booster in one arm, flu shot in the other. Done for another year. Serendipitously managed to book the shots almost a year to the day since my last shots. Funny brain.
I was going to say you can do both together, but I see you've already edited. That's what I did, easy as. My son is high risk for respiratory infections and I work in healthcare, so flu shots annually has been the whole family's routine anyway. Doing both together just ankes sense.
I tried getting both together at a pharmacy, but the pharmacist said that since I've already got my 3rd dose/booster he wouldn't recommend another one, risk/reward isn't good enough. Maybe I could have insisted on it anyway but I was taken aback by it and didn't push back. Only got the flu vax. Maybe I should book for COVID elsewhere.
Unless they said that because you ticked one or more of the existing conditions/ailments on the waiver or whatever that form is. But yeah, I'm surprised they said that. Get a second opinion!
No I don’t have any so it was really weird. He just said for young adults that have 3 shots, he wouldn’t recommend a 4th unless you’re high risk. I’m definitely not going back to that pharmacy, will look for a booster elsewhere
I see. I should clarify I'm almost 45 so the advice you got may be the norm for young adults. I'm not a medical professional of any kind. I'm pretty sure all I can say is what I said before about getting a second opinion from someone who is qualified to give one.
Good morning Sydney DT. Nice to see you keeping the fires lit.
