I took the OP to mean two vaccine shots and two boosters for a total of four shots.

I was accused of "virtue signaling" when I was hot and heavy on masking up BEFORE we had vaccines available for the general public. No more masking for me at this point. Anyone who is vulnerable for what ever reason should protect themselves by wearing an N95 mask when appropriate. Children should be kept safe by their parents, however they plan to do that is up to them.

I think maybe the OP meant it was their 4th vaccine, since Pfizer's count is at 4 total now, and that's the most common one.

I've had three, will probably get a fourth once my health insurance says they'll cover it. They've changed who can get it in the past few days, I don't remember what the text was. I only know that prior to the change, I was not on the list of "recommended people" and now I am.

Totally agree. If a place I'm going requires me to wear a mask, I will wear one - without complaint. I am not bothered by wearing them at all. I'm vaccinated and boosted, will get the second boost whenever my insurance says it's covered, but I'm not going to worry about being a carrier and spreading it to all my nearest and dearest anymore. If they want to protect themselves, they absolutely should. If not, then they won't.

Wife and I get our second booster at end of this month.
This afternoon we took grandson in our car to hit some golf balls at local range.
He phoned tonight to let us know he has just tested positive.
Hey Ho!

Got my 4th covid shot on Good Friday. (1st vaccine + 2nd vaccine + 1st booster + 2nd booster) Used Pfizer for #4, first 3 were Moderna. I wanted to do something wild & crazy. No problems. We're all different.

Hopefully he had gotten vaccine and maybe a booster so he would get a very mild case.

Our 8 year old grandson got it via his father but luckily both had mild case and back to work and school.

Be careful out there

Default Single Shot

I got the single shot vaccine almost a year ago. No boosters, nothing. Got the Rona recently, and I can promise you, I’ll take the Rona over the flu any day. The Rona gave me an annoying cough and made me a little tired, but that was all.

WOW, Been a while since our last MASK / VACCINE thread. This one is a BOGO and covers them both in one.

Pool on how many posts in 48 hrs?

Pass the thread if you don't like it. The OP was feeling like garbage and wanted to put it out there for discussion. That is what TOTV'S is here for.

OP, we both felt like hell for about a day and a half after the second booster. My wife's arm was red as hell for about a week. We are fine now.

Hope your feeling better quickly and I knew what you meant in your post, 2 shots, and 2 boosters. Jeez!

I encourage anyone with any info or concern about Covid to post here. It's all interesting.

The pool on how many posts isn't really important. What counts is the people are here to post even if they didn't get the shots.

Does that mean you don't want to join in the betting pool? It's a BOGO! Sometimes folks just need to lighten up a teeny bit.
