Covid Booster made me ill

The last curry I had at the Delhi Belly had the same effect on me!

I had no reaction to my 4th but your reaction means that you had a potent immune response. That is a good thing. As for masks, I doubt that anyone likes wearing them. However, we wear a mask to protect others more than ourselves. I wear them in crowded areas and will wear one on a plane for sure, probably forever.

My daughter same thing, she takes allergy pill every day. They said it lessoned her reaction to the shot.

10:20 AM…I’m sitting at the Orlando airport waiting for my flight UpNort. A quick glance around. Maybe one person in 50 is wearing a mask.

Really nice to see actual faces again.

The specific groups include those over 50 years old. I’d rather feel like crap for a day or two after another booster than risk getting very sick from Covid and possibly suffer from long term life altering consequences.

Are you kidding me???? 99.9% knew exactly what he meant

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.

Got our 4th ip in ny...not sure if rules are nationwide or not, but here anyone 50 or older can get it. If immune compromised then 12 and older. That should just about cover all of TV.
Also, government has said it will pay, but almost all ins Co will. Call your drug store.

VA are taking appointments for 4 shot or 2nd booster if you prefer. (352) 674-5000

Your first mistake was having 4 booster shots. You don't need that and sounds like you are on the "sky is falling" wagon train and believing all the misinformation the fake news is spewing out. You don't need all that!

I have lightened up, a whole lot!

I remember what it was like to be new here in The Villages and posting something and having one of the Curmudgeons who is now M.I.A. either spank me or swat me.

I don't like it at all. I stopped posting for a while and took a break for a long time from all Social Media. When I returned many of the people that I was friendly with are not here on the forum anymore. I hope it's because of their personal choice and not that they were driven away by having their posts questioned and by being ridiculed.

It just hit me that some people who were catered to when they were new are so rough on the newer people coming on board.

the govt does some thing right and something very badly but this one is in the good category.

You really have to look it from a particular angle to see this as good.

Yes I watch Fox News too pure entertainment. I prefer to listen to my Physician for advice

Like most of us, I do not like wearing a mask, but if wearing one will keep a toddler or frail elderly person from getting sick, I will wear the damn thing. I am not that selfish. I understand wearing a mask might be ineffectual, but still, I will wear it for the good of those around me

Are you feeling any better yet?

Yes the angle that we were able to get a vaccine quickly which possibly saved many members of my family's life

I reacted the same way to Covid booster #2 (4th Covid shot overall). Fever of 101.5, chills, headache, and body aches for 2days. Felt fatigued, even on the 3rd day.
Not fun.
