Is it still free? Or at least cheap? I’m assuming my insurance is not a big factor considering how lousy it is.
I had the Moderna updated booster last week (before I'd had Pfizer ones)- after effects were roughly the same as usual- sore arm, though this time I was pretty wiped out and fatigued and slept for 10 hours (which is a lot for me) for two nights. However I was tired and fatigued before I had it (had been recuperating from a lingering low key bug the past two weeks), so not entirely sure whether the booster was the cause of it. It was nice having such a long sleep anyways! Now I'm fine! Was still able to run, swim and work as usual after getting the shot
Boosted with the newest Pfizer about 32 hours ago.
Feels like a punch to the arm, but not a hard punch. No other effects. I felt worse with previous covid shots, so this one has been a pleasant surprise so far.
CVS made it pretty easy, and I was in and out in about 10 minutes. I imagine less people are getting boosted. At least right now.
Can anyone get it? Do you know it Moderna has it?
Wow must be that general communication about this is poor.
Anyone can get it, both Pfizer and Moderna have their versions.
I do believe there is a follow up booster for 10+ kids too and maybe it's younger
No I just have been a little out of the loop recently. It’s my fault.
My experience with CVS has been mostly good. I assume most pharmacies are similar.
If you go to their website, they ask like 10 questions, and then provide you with available appointments. Right now some appointments will say Moderna, some Pfizer. I went with Pfizer because it was nearby, and the same day. If I went with an appointment a day later, Moderna was an option.
The website took under 10 minutes.
I'm trying not to let my guard down too much until we have a mild covid winter. Hopefully that's this winter.
**** you long-covid... you ain't getting me! I ain't got time for that ****!
