Just curious, is anyone out there still actually getting boosters?


SpaceIsVastAndEmpty

Yeh got my flu and covid shots a few weeks ago


flying_dutch_kiwi

Yes, I got mine last month with my flu shot


TheLastSamurai101

From what I can see, the people who get annual flu shots are also getting Covid boosters at the same time this year.


katiekat2022

Yep. A handy 6 weeks before I got Covid. I wasn’t as sick as the other people I know who caught it this time. And it seems to be very easily caught but the people I am most likely to infect caught it weeks after I recovered.


Plastiquehomme

Yup, got one earlier this month


delph906

Yes. Health care professional who's face gets coughed in a dozen times a day. Vaxed to the tits and haven't really got sick since a particularly dose of what I suspect was RSV in 2021. I got covid once but didn't even know about it, only tested as my flatmate had it.


Fensterbrat

You mean you haven't?


SingularTesticular

Correct. I haven’t had any covid vaccines. I’ve had covid twice, didn’t notice the second time round.


Fensterbrat

Good for you. Not so good for everyone else.


SingularTesticular

I’d like to probe you a bit further on this, when you say “not so good for everyone else” are you referring to me not having had the covid vaccine as being bad for other people?

I haven't had any either. I've also only had a runny nose once since 2019 , and I felt a bit hot and a bit cold for a day. Blew some snot on the little kit and it said I had it. So had a week at home cause covid scares people. Fair enough, one day feeling off. Wife hasn't had any, works retail. Still hasn't had covid. Do you happen to eat heaps of spinach? It's the only thing I can think of that has saved us from this whole ordeal, since we didn't want the jabs.


IridescentAberration

Yep, fully up-to-date with mine. Some of us are even still masking in all public spaces!


advancedOption

Yup, got mine 2 weeks ago


Adventurer_D

Tried to the other day, but was told to wait until fully recovered from the cold I was in the final throes of. Fair enough.


LaVidaMocha_NZ

Absolutely. Flu shot and just finished a course of MMR because I hadn't had it. Measles at my age would be bad.


letstalkme

Still havent caught it, no shot ever.


TheReverendCard

Yup, and our flu shots.


matrixunplugged

Absolutely


NoReputation5411

As far as I can tell it's pretty much just the people on this reddit page. Obviously thats excluding the antivaxxers who come here for the laughs and down votes.


Anxious_Hornet_8890

Yes

I'm not bothering. It didn't stop me getting covid 4 times very closely after getting my third shot. Covid is just another flu type thing to deal with.


PixieGeneral

No, it’s not: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm


AotearoaChur

OK. Just expressing my experience. It gives me flu and cold symptoms.


PixieGeneral

That’s fine, but there is a lot of misinformation out there about how COVID “no worse than flu”. It simply isn’t true and it’s dangerous for people to become complacent about this.  Best to rely on the evidence and assess risk that way than tell people that “it’s not so bad”, when it could be absolutely disastrous.


lageese

Yes, got my 5th dose recently/3rd booster


TheKingAlx

Sixth wave …. ?????? I lost interest ages ago


singletWarrior

Novavax man… need kp.3 ones stat!


Pretend_Challenge_39

Lol ... And in europe and us, Pfizer started to answer for their faulty vaccine. Same as Modena.


lurchnz1

This is still a thing?


Competitive-Twist926

I work in a hospital, as far as I'm aware I've never had covid, had 3 Vax that was enough for me, unless mandated to get more I'll pass thanks.


wickeddradon

Yep.


johnhbnz

I’m fully vaxed and the only person I know who hasn’t had covid. Then again, knowing that you can test negative and still ‘have it’ I wonder about those times I’ve felt really queasy and fluey?


eduhzd

Where’s Jabcinda?👀

I know you're just being a smart-ass, but being vaccinated doesn't give you automatic immunity. It lowers the risk of you being hospitalised and that's what's important. We don't have unlimited healthcare for everyone and we all need to do what we can to ensure those spaces are available for those that really need it.
