As a big believer in science, and vaccines, and things like that, I am very happy to say that I got this year's flu shot and covid vaccine last night.
One arm, I think the covid side, is slightly sore; the other isn't at all. I wanted to get this done before traveling in October, and I specifically got it done on a weekend when I don't have anything else on the schedule, so I can laze around without guilt, but so far it's nothing too bothersome.
I know there are people with comorbid conditions who can't get some vaccines, but if you're not in that group, I would encourage you to get yours.
Oh, and while I have your attention, if you're American, vote in November. It's 'just' the midterms, but wow is that more important than ever this year.
We do our vaccines around Halloween to make sure we're full up for the holidays and hope the booster works throughout the winter. But I'll also schedule on a Friday and hope for the best, although I've yet to have a COVID booster that hasn't given me a fever and knocked me out. Oh, well. It's better than COVID itself, right?
