Chris Hayes: Go Get The Updated Covid Booster Shot - All In - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Chris Hayes: “If you're medically eligible, you and everyone you know should get the booster. There is so much more we can do to drive down this intolerable rate of Covid death in this country. But this new shot is an easy first step to preventing more loss. Let's start doing it.” - Aired on 09/23/2022.

1. We got ours 2 weeks ago 😉

[Rhiannon12866]

3. Kudos!

I have to check my status - I was late in getting booster #2 since I came down with the flu - and I had gotten my flu shot!

[MLAA]

4. Oh, glad you mentioned flu shots! I need to schedule ours. Decided not to get at same time

as booster. Thinking it was a bit early and would rather get them early October!

[Rhiannon12866]

7. I don't recommend getting them at the same time

I got both my flu shot and pneumonia shot at the same time last year and one arm hurt terribly for a week - but I don't know which shot was responsible...

2. Going to try again to schedule mine!

[Rhiannon12866]

5. I need to get mine, too, before it turns to "indoor weather" here

I was late in getting my second booster since I was sick with the flu for so long...

[SheltieLover]

6. I never got 2nd booster

Persistent infection, then it was too close to this one being released.

I was presuming we would have to wait 6 mos between 2nd booster & this new one, as was the case with boosters previously.

Oh well... i'll hopefully be able to get it in a week or so. No option for it here yet. 😏

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Is it six months? I need to look at my card.

And start working on my brother - again.

[SheltieLover]

12. No!

This time it's only 2 mos.

Yes, get brother in the mood...

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I think he'll only go to the clinic in the old Sears store at the nearby mall run by the military

Since that's where he went before. But it's closed now. For his health insurance, he has to get checkups at the doctor, wish they could give it to him, or at least tell him he should get it. His doctor retired, but his daughter took over his practice - and she brings her (therapy?) dog. He likes the dog.

[SheltieLover]

14. Can you call doc's office to see if they have it?

Glad they have therapy dog he likes!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I don't think they give them at doctors' offices or everyone would go there

My doctor's office asked to make a copy of my vaccination card, but when I asked at the ENT they weren't interested. Yet they still require masks - even though I'm there for sinus and breathing issues.

[SheltieLover]

17. Glad at least they require masks!

I hope you can convince him to go!

Bribe him with a take-out pizza after?

8. I got mine today!

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Good for you! Let us know how you're feeling

I felt pretty rotten after the second shot, I think. I believe I'm finally eligible now, took me awhile to get my second booster since i was diagnosed with the flu on the very day I was eligible for booster #2 and that lasted for quite awhile, much worse than any reaction to any Covid inoculation. I'm grateful for the reminder.

11. I got the new v Moderna booster on Wednesday

Slightly sore arm for maybe 8 hrs

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Thanks! I've gotten the Moderna, too - since that was the first one that was available to me

So I've stuck with it. Thanks for letting me know, I can deal with a sore arm. And I just checked my vaccination card and it looks like I'm eligible. Kudos to you for getting it already. I was late in getting booster #2 since I was down with the flu as soon as I was eligible, but I checked and it's been over 2 months now.
