I had the real influenza which was a bit worse, but I wasn’t vaccinated 3 times against that. Covid gave me over 6 months of loss of smell, that was terrible.
If you have easy access to a booster… fuckin do it!
I was sick as a dog for 3 weeks, started being symptomatic late Feb, was well enough to work again by mid March…had a persistent cough until early June, and due to health monitoring at work my lung capacity and strength has been verified as having gone down about 5%. It’s almost October and I still have a bit of a cough, not all the time like right after the worst of it, but if it’s cold, or humid, or I’ve been lying down for a few hours(say around 2am)…
I’ll ask my GP. I do not fool around with getting vaccines as needed, that’s for sure. I just don’t know what the policy is.
Would I be a bad person if I fibbed to public health to get an Mpox vaccine by telling them I have multiple sex partners? I don’t but I would like one because it’s spread by touch.
The only 2 things I’ve had that were worse than the last time I had COVID:

Ugh whooping cough is awful. I’ve never had it. I wonder if I should get a booster.

Anyway, definitely get a booster if you can.

Idk fam, that’s a call you need to take for yourself.
Well I can’t say I’m not tempted.
I’d weigh up your risk factors. Could get it by just telling the truth if you’re in a risk group.
It’s mostly that I work in health care and it spreads by touch.
I mean… that seems like a pretty big risk factor, not just for you but the wider web of people who could be infected if you were…
