blue county in a blue state, and it seems like all the appointments here are booked as soon as they're available -- it's like when the vaccine originally came out seems like all the readily available vaccines are about an hour's drive away, so maybe i'll break down and make that trip this week

does having caught covid recently give you better or worse immunity than the newest booster?

getting my booster shot tomorrow. wanted to schedule flu shot at the same time, but the website for it just suggested asking about the flu shot while you're there, so i'm hoping they just have them all lined up ready to go for when people ask.

i got boosted a few days after it was available, there were tons of appointments. maybe now that the news is out there's more people getting it? i do need to get the flu vaccine though, maybe i'll drag my wife out with me on tuesday.

Sagebrush posted:does having caught covid recently give you better or worse immunity than the newest booster? fauci was asked a question along these lines, and he said that since he'd recently had covid, he was going to wait 2 months for his next vaccine, per cdc guidelines. getting rona confers a slightly less robust response, and it doesn't last as long vs the vaccine. it's still considerable enough to where, if you were recently ill, it probably provides the best protection to wait a bit until getting the booster. myself, i'm getting the booster shortly before the holidays, as that's when i'm going to be most at risk w/ family and other gatherings

Eh, I wouldn't say Finnish politics are going to poo poo, this is pretty much par for the course. Adjusting your expectations to the right level takes a while, but I did it long ago and the current situation is just about what I'd expect.
