Vax Day #2

I have COVID booster booked for this morning. Turning out wet and chilly. I’ve a big decision to make on what to wear. It has to be weatherproof, warm, but easy to take off. Hmmm.

Last year I had the 1st COVID booster and Influenza seasonal vaccinations at the same time at the work. But the work didn’t organise the 2nd C-booster; and I had to book myself, ended up later than I’d have liked. So I now I have to have the flu shot and COVID vax weeks apart this .

Turning 65 in Aotearoa New Zealand means I will become entitled to free vaccinations for a couple otherwise expensive shots. (source: NZ National Immunisation Schedule) So I will have four more shots to have this year:

  • Tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough vaccine (Boostrix)
  • Shingles (Shingrix)
  • COVID booster
  • Shingles (Shingrix)

I suppose I can reduce those to two vax days by combining the first two and the last two. More decisions for later.

:coffee:

PS: I’m guessing the chance for this post to attract attention of the Ant-Vax bots/zombies is small, given I only restarted this blog and has no regular readers. It may happen, though. See how it goes.
