I got the updated COVID booster a few days ago. Had mild side effects the next day for 24 hours (feeling feverish and achy), the side effects were a little greater than after my first booster but less than after my second dose of the main series.

A good friend from high school is having a birthday party next weekend at a bar. I hope I'll be safe there now that I'm up to date on my COVID vaccine doses.

I emailed my doctor and asked if I were due for a second booster shot. I'm waiting for her response.

Have you only had two shots total?

Per the CDC: Anyone who is 4-months past their last Covid shot of any kind is eligible for the new bivalent booster and should get it ASAP.

(The exception is for someone like trmiv who recently had COVID and is waiting 3-4 months post infection before getting the booster.)

No, I had a booster. I just got an email from my doctor a minute ago. I'm due for the (bivalent) booster. I'll make an appointment right now.

Bill Clinton @BillClinton

I’ve tested positive for Covid. I’ve had mild symptoms, but I’m doing fine overall and keeping myself busy at home.

I’m grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, which has kept my case mild, and I urge everyone to do the same, especially as we move into the winter months.

My 21 year-old daughter contracted COVID from a coworker (there's frustratingly no mask mandate for employees at the store she works at) over the holiday. Not really surprising after she's been working in a busy retail environment for the last year and a half. So far, her symptoms aren't terrible, a little run down and a hacking cough. But it's a bit of a pain trying to isolate from each other for the next few days. Fortunately, I work from home and do so from a home office separate from the main house, so now I have no excuse not to be extremely productive. So far I'm testing negative and feel perfectly fine . . . but I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Hope you and your family get through this with no complications.🙏🏾

I'm scheduled to get the Bivalent booster tomorrow at 1:30 pm.

Thanks jo. Glad to hear you're getting your booster.

Just got the Bivalent booster about an hour or so ago. I'm good to go until CDC comes up with other recommendations.

Follow up. My daughters symptoms got a bit worse, she was a mess for a couple of days (nausea, hacking couch, aches etc.) but nothing terrible. My wife started feeling mildly symptomatic not long after I posted and tested positive Wednesday. It got worse, but nowhere near what my daughter was feeling. I started to feel it a bit on Wednesday, but was negative, a bit worse Thursday, mild sore sore throat and cough, still negative. Early Friday I woke up feeling really achy and the cough was worse. Still negative. I didn't feel good, but was able to be up and about. Felt much better yesterday morning and tested again . . . positive, so much so that the "T" lime showed up solidly almost immediately. Today I'm feeling almost back to normal.

I only mention this because this is my observation: GET ANY AND ALL BOOSTERS YOU CAN! That's what I did and my case was pretty uneventful. I had the most recent booster and all the previous ones. My wife hasn't had the most recent and was hit a bit worse than I. And our daughter is less up to date on her vaccines than the two us and she got hit much harder.

So I'll just say it again, GET YOUR BOOSTERS ASAP if you haven't already. This bug ain't going anywhere, and in fact is surging again.

Did mention GET YOUR BOOSTER!?

Glad you're feeling better. What did you use to test for COVID? I have 2 iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test kits. I haven't used them because I haven't had any symptoms.

I'm up to date on my COVID vaccinations. Kaiser has a text message follow up monitoring side effects. I get a questionnaire on occasion. I think it goes on for about 5 weeks. I haven't had any side effects. I had very little ache in the injection area, much less than the initial shot.
