I've had three shots. I'll probably get the fourth at some time. I see it as kind of like the flu shot.Recently, tests and masks seem to be being handed out everywhere. For example, the library is always handing them out. I read pharmacies are doing the same, but I haven't stopped by one recently. Tests were virtually impossible to even buy around Xmas but now there seems to be a surplus and it's almost like they are trying to get rid of them.
It seems an odd time to be trying to pass yet another covid bill when we appear to now be oversupplied and they can't find hardly any vaccine takers. Every grocery store I visit (with a pharmacy) is announcing to stop on by the pharmacy for a covid shot - annoyingly frequent announcements.
So, I'm curious - are others experiencing this abundance of tests in your area? How are posters feeling about a 4th shot (or a 3rd shot if you haven't gotten one)? Have those already once boosted gotten another or do you plan to?
I stopped at the original 2 shots and have no plans to get anymore covid shots for the time being.
Threw all my accumulation of mask in the garbage. Never again.I had the two vaccination's and then the booster. If COVID takes off again plan on getting the 2nd booster then. Have a good stock of mask on hand if needed.
You "feel" like you've done everything you can regarding Covid immunity?I got two shots then I got Covid. Feel like I'm immune as possible at this point.

There is a surplus now and I noticed the ones I've picked up from the library have an expiration date of June. With covid numbers still quite low for now, it seems a whole bunch of tests might expire and go to waste.I'll be getting a booster as soon as I am qualified. Vaccine shots are free, only hurt a little bit for a second or two during the administration of the shot and result in a sore arm for about 24 hours after, and they are a damn sight better than contracting COVID-19 and being an irresponsible spreader of a potentially deadly virus. I won't be wearing a mask until/unless it is recommended by the CDC or required by my state. If it is then I will.
And obviously there is now a surplus of tests because there used to be a shortage and so a huge number were manufactured very quickly.
My second shot symptoms were worse than covid itself so no booster for me. Besides that even the CDC now says natural immunity is superior to vaccination.You "feel" like you've done everything you can regarding Covid immunity?
Do your feelings ever connect to your brain, which knows boosters exist and are recommended?
Likely. But to be expected at the (hopefully) tail end of a global pandemic. Better overprepared and wasteful than underprepared and vulnerable.There is a surplus now and I noticed the ones I've picked up from the library have an expiration date of June.

You're still "feeling" your way through debate.My second shot symptoms were worse than covid itself so no booster for me. Besides that even the CDC now says natural immunity is superior to vaccination.
No they don't. It is better to be vaccinated even if you already have natural immunity.My second shot symptoms were worse than covid itself so no booster for me. Besides that even the CDC now says natural immunity is superior to vaccination.
I read an article about that yesterday.Medicare will now cover 8 COVID rapid home test each month starting in April. Check their web site or with your pharmacy for the details.
I'm vaccinated and have natural immunity and as I said I feel I'm as immune as possible.You're still "feeling" your way through debate.
CDC has said that boosters are recommended even if you'd had Covid and confers greater protection.
Your claim that you did "immune AS POSSIBLE", is still false.
What you did was take the measures you personally feel are sufficient. Which is fine. Just say that instead of spreading misinformation.
Far superior, isn't it? I'm a bit behind on that info but I heard the tail end of a brief interview the other day and it sounds like natural immunity has now been shown to be significantly better at providing protection.My second shot symptoms were worse than covid itself so no booster for me. Besides that even the CDC now says natural immunity is superior to vaccination.

Too bad they were all too late!!!! It bothers me greatly to imagine the waste, while remembering how needed they were during the holidays.Likely. But to be expected at the (hopefully) tail end of a global pandemic. Better overprepared and wasteful than underprepared and vulnerable.
Glad your illness wasn't bad and you're better now.I caught the newest strain of Covid. (2 weeks ago) My shot record is 2+the booster. I was feeling out-of-sorts for 3 days.
...instead of still being in a hospital or 6 feet under.
Yeah CDC finally admitted that and quickly covered their ass by claiming even better to have natural immunity and a vaccination.Far superior, isn't it? I'm a bit behind on that info but I heard the tail end of a brief interview the other day and it sounds like natural immunity has now been shown to be significantly better at providing protection.
I'm twice vaccinated (over a year ago) and haven't had covid. Like you, if I had also had covid, I'd feel super immune. Being twice vaccinated long ago and with no natural immunity, I had quit ever thinking about covid until, suddenly, tests are everywhere and the government is discussing yet more money to be spent on vaccines and tests. That seems so odd and out of place to me, it prompted me to inquire what the April 2022 view of others was - by starting this thread.I'm vaccinated and have natural immunity and as I said I feel I'm as immune as possible.
Such is the nature of surprise pandemics. Perhaps in exchange for the waste we have to deal with now, we will be better prepared in the future in the event of another pandemic and can save some lives.Too bad they were all too late!!!! It bothers me greatly to imagine the waste, while remembering how needed they were during the holidays.
