Newest Covid booster is absolutely mental. Itโs kicking my ass! I feel almost as bad as if I had Covid the first time.
How does it work these days? Can you just rock up to a chemist? Or do you need to book through hotdocs or something?
I just booked through Priceline. My gp doesnโt do it for some reason.
I know Amcal prefer that you book, but in theory you could just rock up, you might just have to wait to get in
I was the opposite but the fam was hit hard.
Then I got this headcold from Indo which has f'ed me royally and all the fam just had a little sniffle.
Can't win :(
yup, i was a bit poorly for a couple of day and my arm hurt for a week
hugs
Were you also hot cold like mad? I was so hot at one point at like 5 am I was convinced Iโd pissed myself.
yes, quite feverish
Which one did you get? Thinking I need to do mine since it's been six months since I last had covid.
Moderna bivalent or something I think. The chemist said it was the latest one.
Cool, that's likely the one I'll go for since I've had Moderna since they stopped giving out AZ. Good to know that it knocks people about - I'll have to schedule it in at an opportune time ;)
Or just when you can take sick leave. I just assumed I would be fine since I was ok the last couple of times, but this oneโs a totally new beast.
