UUUGGGGGHHH

I hate it.

Admittedly, I took 4 Tylenols (which you should never do so please think of your health and don't do it) over the course of today till now.

I still feel something, especially where the shot was, and my head feels a bit light-headed and strange.

Don't get me wrong: I'm glad I took it and I'm actually a bit proud that this may be my seventh shot so far (probably sixth, though).

But the first day? Yeah, not so good.

      Id rather not get covid again if i can avoid it. I get the flu shot, no reason not to get a covid booster as well. I feel shitty all the time another day cant be too bad lol

        Yeah, to be fair, it gets better as you take it; each time is progressively better than the last.

      really we should get three boosters a year, or quarterly if you have vulnerabilities considering the efficacy dropoff and the centers for disease circulation lowballing it on six months.

        You suggest that I get one three times a year?

        I'll probably do it, if need be.

          probably worth double checking my memory, and if the vaccines aren't keeping up with new variants that fast then it matters less, but iirc they say the effectiveness lasts about 4 months and that means the cdc's 6 month recommendation hangs you out for two months between vaccines.
