canyonwalker: coronavirus (coronavirus)
[personal profile] canyonwalker
Just before lunch today I got my Covid bivalent booster shot, my 5th shot overall, along with a flu shot. As I check back through my blog I see that I got a booster and a flu shot at pretty much this time a year ago.

I have no side effects from the shots yet. In the past side effects have hit me around 18 hours post-shot, so I figure I'll be feeling it tomorrow morning. I sought out a different vaccine this time, Moderna instead of Pfizer, as I've read crossing over provides a slight boost in resistance vs. sticking all with one brand. That might change up the side effects a bit. I've read anecdotal reports that Moderna hits harder than Pfizer.

Hawk is getting her shots tomorrow afternoon. She picked a Friday appointment so side effects wouldn't slow her down at work. I picked Thursday because my Fridays are usually slow and I don't care. 😂 Plus, well, I have a week or two of Covid-specific sick leave available that's separate from regular time off. Since I've been so good at avoiding actually getting sick with Covid— I'm not just a Covid virgin, I've also been dubbed a Covid dodger, like a draft dodger— I might as well try using that paid leave for something.

I'll check back tomorrow or over the weekend on how we're doing.
