Feel fortunate, booster content

Forums:

Just got the Moderna boost.  Line wasn't long but I had to wait a little.  The injection site ran out of the Moderna,  it just took a few minutes for a delivery. 

 

I wanted to let that other thread  fizzle.

Good luck zoners.

I got my flu vaccine yesterday and my 3rd Moderna booster about a couple of weeks ago

Good on ya.

My first side effect two/ three hours after injection hit me sort of hard. I too k a couple o' bong hits and tried to juggle three three dog ball toys.  It didn't work.

How old or what comorbidities does one need for Moderna booster? I didn't know Moderna was doing boosters. Is it ok to get a Pfizer booster if I started w Moderna? Sorry for my ignorance and thank you to anyone who has answers. 

Just contact a local pharmacy and ask if they have Moderna. Make an appointment and get the 3rd shot. Check the box for whatever comorbidities apply, or just say your doc recommends it - they don't care.

Over 50 former tobacco smoker is a qualifier in my state.  It was/is total self assement Another words my PC's offce said simply check mark the " other" hash mark on the qualifier questionnaire.  Louisiana National Guard and Louisiana State University health workers were more than happy and willing to proceed. 

Smooth . Just my experience earlier today.  I'm sure other locals may differ. 

 

Some say get the vax , some differ. I choose to. Good luck with your decision. 

Sweet so just like the first shots they're not really checking. Thanks Nancy & Jaz 

Everyone who works in advertising and marketing gets to the front of the line.  They don't necessarily qualify, they're just pathological liars.

What concerns me are the liars who aren't getting vaccinated and are using fake cards. Freedumb 

 

plenty of supply in the States for all who want the first or third dose. In fact many distributors have been tossing left over doses. 15 million excess doses trashed since March. 
 

Wheel and spin.  It's like Advertising & Marketing 101 in here.

So strange. What are your concerns about the vaccine and people getting a booster when there's plenty for all who want it?

 

I waited until late May and mid June to get my two-dose Pfizer regimen, all the while observing COVID protocols while running my business and interacting with the public on a daily basis.  Although on the frontlines, my work was not deemed "essential" by the policy makers.  Being under 60 and generally healthy, I managed my own health and got by, while others who lied about their situation jumped the line, while working remotely and having Amazon or some other delivery service bring them all their neccesities.  Now all these cheaters are jumping the line again.  Sort of like the d-bags who try to sneak as far as possible around a congested line of traffic and cut their way in at the last moment, holding up the people in their lane trying to go another way.  It reeks of entitlement.  Guess you skipped that Ethics class.

The silver lining of getting my second shot so late, is I won't need a booster until early next year, at which point, the pandemic will hopefully be nearing its' end.

Careful riding that Covid vaccine high horse, dude

 

Reminds me of people judging those handicap placards when they don't see a disability.

You sound like a sociopath, equally as bad as any wingnut anti-vaxxer. I realize that you don't realize this. You're welcome.

There's the Doosh response we all have come to expect from the Doosh 

 

helping someone who needs a vaccine isn't something the Doosh would know about

i'm Eligible for a booster pretty much sure i'll get one ~ Pfizer

For the record I did not jump the line Mr. Herbal I got my shot 3/21 six days after my comorbidities qualified me on 3/15 and will do the same w my booster get it when i qualify, i did take note that CVS didn't ask for my doctors note or anything else hence my comment above. Like yourself i went to work daily did not let go of any employees and bobbed and weaved through humanity responsibly to keep my business running and supplies in the house for my family . 

 

Got My Booster today so quick n easy right up the street. at Rite Aid PFizer

What about Africa?

My Doc said get it. Age and pre-existing conditions.  First shots in January and February. 

 

No line jumping. 

Exactly ^
 

the confusing part is 3rd dose of Moderna. It's not yet officially approved  however many pharmacies will provide a 3rd booster of Moderna anyway for qualifying individuals and many doctors are directing patients to just get the 3rd Moderna booster. 

 

https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/underlying-c...

 3rd booster available to workers in these categories:

First responders (health care workers, firefighters, police, congregate care staff)

>To our Community Members,

 

Your health and safety are our top priority. We are pleased to share with you our plans to provide COVID-19 booster shots to our community and our patients.

We continue to follow guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Following the FDA’s authorization of booster shots for certain groups, the CDC has provided its recommendations for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots. Stanford Health Care will begin administering these doses to eligible individuals on September 29.


Who should get a booster?

The CDC recommends a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine six months after initial vaccination for people who are 65 and older and those aged 50 to 64 with health problems that put them at high risk of severe disease. The CDC also recommends that a booster dose may be considered for people age 18 to 49 who have an underlying medical condition and those whose jobs may put them at higher risk of exposure, including health care workers.

It’s important to remember that, when it comes to reducing infections and hospitalizations in the community, the benefits of vaccinating people who are unvaccinated are much greater than booster doses. People with healthy immune systems who were fully vaccinated are still very well protected. They have a lower chance of being seriously ill, hospitalized, or dying of COVID-19. Our goal is to help our patients and community gain a strong level of protection and keep it over the coming months.


Scheduling a booster shot

Booster shots for eligible patients will be available at most of our vaccination locations. Patients can schedule an appointment through MyHealth, which will require them to complete an attestation about their eligibility.

Vaccines are also available at many health organizations and retail pharmacies. We encourage you to get your vaccine or booster shot at the most convenient and accessible provider for you. If you get a vaccine from a provider other than Stanford Health Care, please let your primary care doctor know. You can send them a message through MyHealth.


Third (3rd) doses for patients with weakened immune systems

The CDC also recommends that people whose immune systems are moderately to severely compromised should receive a third (3rd) dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, only after 28 days or more following their second dose. Stanford Health Care is now scheduling appointments for our established patients who are eligible for a third (3rd) dose.


Stay updated

Please check our COVID-19 vaccination website for up-to-date information, locations, and to schedule a COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot.



Thank you for trusting us with your care.

Sincerely,

Your Stanford Health Care team

What about Moderna? Looks like there's no recommendation yet from Moderna but people are getting Moderna boosters anyway. According to the above I qualify now although late Oct. is 6 months for me. 

What I hearing is that you can ask for Moderna and receive it if you qualify for a booster.

Again, check with your local pharmacy. Pharmaca in our area has Moderna and are giving 3rd boosters to anyone who checks a qualifying health condition box or 'other' box. 

Thanks, Nancy! 

Getting boosted tomorrow so I can GTTS and feel safer on 10/11 & 10/13

Same here, Nod. The 14th.  The current Moderna booster is a 100mg dose. Studies are indicating a 50 mg dose will suffice.

I felt felt sluggish/off for two and a half days and hardly any injection site ache this time. Not too bad sides. I worked the next day.

>Studies are indicating a 50 mg dose will suffice.
 

 

A  pediatrician I spoke to seemed to think that  that weight needs to be taken into consideration, specifically for the dosage for children 5-11. Huge range, and for adults too. 

 

I'm 9 months out from my 2nd shot,

and getting my booster next week.

Most of our patients coming in are unvaxxed.

Sigh..

 

J&J 6 months ago. Get to choose my booster, so I'm getting the Moderna on Saturday.

You chose wisely.

I got Pfizer #3 on Tuesday, and my special friend got her 3rd Moderna.

On with life....

JJ + Moderna is supposed to be a pretty powerful cocktail.

Pfizer #3 for us today - tried yesterday but weren't prepared for the 2 hour wait.

Going earlier today.

Thanks for getting vaxxed and boosted folks!!

going moonday

as inspired by jaz

<3

((((Ned's SF))))

^ Jill the ironic thing is I got to introduce her to Nick at the recent Phil show in Lyon's, and I introduced her as my special friend. He laughed.

Also saw Bekim all night and he camped with our crew.

 

Having Moderna #3 this Tuesday. 

That's why I was checking in with Jaz on the yucky yummy thread. 

aws~ seen gilman anytime this pandemic?

high five Johnny !

Give Me Pfiz, I'm still alive!!!

^Nice!

I got the Moderna as a booster for the J&J. Holy shit, it fucked me up good for 48 hours.

Got the Moderna booster on Monday.  So far, feel fine.   Had no problem with the first two doses either.

I felt a little nauseous at work this morning, but was able to walk it off during my coffee break.  Was craving saltines, though. 

Hang in there, everybody. 

fyi i did get side effects from the booster

Got my Moderna booster today. Doin' just fine, just like the first two. Sore arm, but that's it so far.

Got a Pneumonia 23 in late September (purposely spaced them a month or so apart) and had big time swelling in the arm for a few days.  Nurse friend I spoke to today said 1 in 5 have a reaction.  

No reaction at all here. Had slight effects from #2.

Sorry for folks that had more discomfort, but it's better than getting the virus.

Don't wait to get the boost, a local friend has been sick for 11 days.. she was scheduled to get her 3rd dose this week. 
 

>California’s progress against the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have stalled and reversed course, as new cases, hospitalizations and deaths are once again trending upward across the state.

“It’s not subtle, that’s for sure,” said Dr. George Rutherford, an epidemiologist at UCSF. “The numbers are increasing. Cases are up over the past three weeks. We were down to as low as about 5,000 new cases per day. Now we’re up to 6,000 cases per day. Hospitalizations are up about 4% over two weeks. There have been some big spikes. To me, that is worrisome.”

Getting mine today. Good article in the NYT today about what's next

Yet Wachter — the chair of the medicine department at the University of California, San Francisco — also worries about the downsides of organizing our lives around Covid....

...Given this reality, Wachter, who’s 64, has decided to resume more of his old activities and accept the additional risk that comes with them, much as we accept the risk of crashes when riding in vehicles.....

....“I’m still going to be thoughtful and careful,” Wachter told The San Francisco Chronicle. But “if I’m not going to do it now, I’m probably saying that I’m not going to do it for the next couple of years, and I might be saying I’m not doing it forever.”

The hospitalization statistics in highly vaccinated communities help explain Wachter’s attitude. In Seattle (which publishes detailed data), the daily Covid hospitalization rate for vaccinated people has been slightly above one in one million. By comparison, the flu hospitalization rate in a typical year in the U.S. is more than twice as high. For most vaccinated people in a place like Seattle or San Francisco, Covid already resembles just another virus.

As for long Covid, it is real but rare. It’s also not unique. The flu and other viruses also cause mysterious, lasting problems for a small share of people, studies show.

The bottom line is that Covid now presents the sort of risk to most vaccinated people that we unthinkingly accept in other parts of life. And there is not going to be a day when we wake up to headlines proclaiming that Covid is defeated. In many ways, the future of the virus has arrived

I'm now getting tested every two weeks now, and expect to have to get another booster in a few month.

Good news is that I have a paid part-time  job checking vaccinations at events and the gig  pays well. Originally the company was contracted through February, but  I don't expect the demand for the company's services to end anytime soon.
