Newest Covid booster is absolutely mental. It’s kicking my ass! I feel almost as bad as if I had Covid the first time.

hugs

Were you also hot cold like mad? I was so hot at one point at like 5 am I was convinced I’d pissed myself.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

yes, quite feverish

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

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 :(

How does it work these days? Can you just rock up to a chemist? Or do you need to book through hotdocs or something?

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I just booked through Priceline. My gp doesn’t do it for some reason.

[–] Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I know Amcal prefer that you book, but in theory you could just rock up, you might just have to wait to get in

[–] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which one did you get? Thinking I need to do mine since it's been six months since I last had covid.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Moderna bivalent or something I think. The chemist said it was the latest one.

[–] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 one’s a totally new beast.
