Is there a newer version than the bivalent one? Are those strains the ones currently circulating?
I just got covid. My doctor told me to wait a little before getting the shot to expand my immunity
That is correct, you should wait at least 3 months for the next one, but make sure to get it then!
Oh I definitely will. I do NOT want to go though this again. That was my first time getting COVID and I hated the whole month it took to recover (sinus infection dragged on)

I guess I am stupid but I thought we were supposed to wait until the critical risk group got them first. Well, alright I will get the 5th booster this weekend.
Thanks lemmy
Wife and I got our boosters a few days ago, and had no issues other than a little soreness the next day. I do think that the pharmacies and doctors aren't promoting it like they have done before. Not even a sign up at our pharmacy that the Covid booster was available. They advertise the Flu shot, but not Covid.
Tried to get one at my PCP and was told I had to go to a pharmacy. Went to my pharmacy and they haven't received it yet. Checked in again today and they still don't have it.
In the US the previous vaccine rollouts were managed by a 4-star General who handled the logistics so well it seemed like vaccines 'magically' appeared where and when they were needed. This year was the first time doing it completely in the private sector and we are witnessing how good corporations are at bungling an operation that features a clear playbook from the prior two years.
Mine is scheduled for next week, so that I have maximum protection through the end of February.
People are over covid. No one cares about it anymore. I think this is due to bad government messaging during covid.
Yes, it is in fact about the POTUS being a fucking moron that dismantled the pandemic response team and spewed nonsense about the CDC and vaccines on a daily basis.
