While I'm here, everyone, please get your flu and COVID shots this winter, vaccines work, so don't get sick, and don't get other people sick.
Got mine! 10/10 will definitely do again
Getting a shot and then immediately walking to the end of the queue for another like it's Six Flags.
Yeah.. For people saying COVID is "just the flu", I had a friend who ended up in hospital with COVID.. When I got covid and thought I may have spread it to her (fortunately she got lucky and somehow didn't get it) , she pretty much started prepacking for hospital.
It's still a super serious virus, same as the real flu..
I know four people who ended up in the hospital from COVID, one in a medically induced coma for a couple of weeks. All except one of them is in their 30's or 40's and in good physical condition, the exception is a friend's young child who is in the ICU right now and they're not sure she'll survive…
I just went to sign up for my covid shot and it asked me to update my insurance information. I have no fucking answers for them so I stopped filling out the form.
Have you tried telling them you don’t have insurance
Nope I'm gonna call and tell them today I think they will say its okay and the website is just dumb 😋 thanks by the way
I highly recommend staggering them though. I did them both together last year and felt so sick that I had to take a day off of work (still better than COVID or Flu). This year, I had a COVID booster and I'm getting a flu shot Monday. The COVID shot did nothing to me but give me a sore arm and flu shots never do anything.
Flu shots are only given to the elderly and vulnerable where I live. It's weird to see people talking about getting the flu shot like it's a normal thing.
I'll get my flu shot once my cold mostly resolves. My entire face feels like it's about to sneeze 24/7 and it's like a personal hell
How? as it has been demonstrated that it does not protect against transmission?
But take your shots please.
Would've been better to say something like: Don't get as sick and potentially die when you do catch one or both of these viruses. Also stay home when you're sick.
It does reduce transmission it just doesn't reduce it to 0%. Life is not so black and white.
Anti vaxxers need your own island. You'd... "sort yourselves out"... in about 10 years.
Strange, so you are protected, you would apparently protect from transmitting too SO why unvaxxed to COVID (not antivaxx, little schmug) would have to isolate on an island?
you see how crazy you are?
Did you intend to make some kind of point here?
