I had my covid booster yesterday. Free from Chemist Warehouse (probably lots of other places too), got an easy online booking within 48 hours, was straight in and out when I got there and the pharmacist was lovely. No side effects except a sore arm.

Hospitalisations are rising again, get on it if you're due for a jab (if it's been more than 12 months).

Ah thank you for the reminder; I'll have to book a jab in so I don't get it again lol.

You might not need to get a jab because you recently caught covid.

It think it was recommended that you get a booster 6 months after you catch covid.

Iโ€™m always envious of those who get vaccinations without being knocked out for weeks.

Last shot Boyo got he was deliriously singing little songs about dancing bbq prawns. Hilarious but actually concerning.

Until covid I've never had any reactions beyond a sore arm and a mild headache. The Covid vax was so awful I have decided I can't put myself through that again.
