T minus 5 hours until my Covid booster. It appears I have successfully evaded acquiring some variant of that bastard virus between setting the appointment and actually getting the shot.
A friend and I disagree on boosters. He is research savvy & has reservations because of a small incidence of vax related myocarditis; a condition Covid infection can cause.
My having high moderate (not needing hospitalization) C19 experiences sways my risk/benefit analysis to boost. How about you?
@CanisPundit I'll always take the vaccine. "The relative risk (RR) for myocarditis was more than seven times higher in the infection group than in the vaccination group" NIH.
So much else can go seriously wrong when infected by the virus and I'm giving my body the chance to practice fighting it.
Friday fun is our booster too. quiet weekend on deck ...
Hydrate like crazy before & after
@LnzyHou thanks, will do. To date, with one Moderna and up to date Pfizer on board my only noted side effects were soreness at injection site and minimal drowsiness/lightheadedness. @Annothername
I’ve had almost zero reaction besides fatigue.
@CanisPundit @LnzyHou that's great. I am usually achey feverish and sleep most of the next day. We'll see about this one Moderna hits me harder but this will be Pfizer again
