I’ve come to think of them as an annual thing, along with my flu shot.

Why are the new vaccines always coming out in the fall when the 80k attendees convention I go to is in August? Grrrr

Cool, I guess. If the CDC is going to pay for it, I’ll get it, but I don’t have $200 just laying around and obviously can’t afford insurance. Shame this country just doesn’t care about defeating disease as much as it cares about money.

Hey CDC could we get some federal funding for monitoring, testing, treatment, and long-COVID research? No? Oh it was just “advisors” who said even this? Ok

I'll get mine, but given how rapidly the virus evolves and the limited protection vaccines can offer due to that fact, I think the government and/or pharma companies really need to invest in making a covid version of Tamiflu widely available before I'll be taking my mask off in public spaces.

Nice, but this fall is a little too late. We need them a few weeks before school starts again.

I plan to get one every year until I die anyway. I just hope as a Canadian it's easier to get this year. Last year was kind of rough in Manitoba.

The fall is late. It will spread in schools once the new year starts. My wife got it last year that way.

Our pharmacy says if you've already vaxed and boosted, you should be okay. The strains are getting very weak now. I know the CDC has its reasons but just sharing what I was told.
