Taking today off work so I can wander into town and get a covid booster. Three day weekend that just happens to coincide with Bathurst, and a handy excuse to loll around on the sofa? I'll take it. Each of my 'rona shots have been slightly worse than the previous one so I'll probably need the extra day but after experiencing a dose of the plague and the joys of antiviral side effects, it's definitely the better option.

Happy Friday!

It's been a while since I had a booster, come to think of it.

Everywhere else has increasing numbers and the UK is about to start tracking again. I'm a compromised snowflake so thought I should hurry up and get it sorted.

Plus my 5G signal isn't what it was so a topup is appreciated 😉

How many top ups have you had? I had one , my 5th Covid shot, about 6 months ago and I understand another is now available.

This was my 4th. I got thrown off schedule by coming down with the blasted virus right on Xmas last year and then kept catching colds when I was meant to re-up.

Yeah, seems everyone over 30 can get a booster now, so long as your last booster or infection was more than 6 months ago.

A lot of people are probably coming up to 6 months since they opened up boosters in April this year.

There are supposedly updated vaccines coming, but usually better not to wait. It sounds like the more we know about Long COVID the worse it is. Will have to book a vaccine in....
