Hey Blade.......(retired nurse here) AND I got J&J last April......Pfizer booster #1Oct 2021......Pfizer booster#2 (forgot date) and Pfizer booster 3 March 2022....and I got the Pfizer BIVALENT booster couple weeks ago, and I had my flu shot late September (quadrivalent....4 strains) as is hard to "predict" what strain will show up.

I had NOT 1 single side effect from the bivalent(2 strain booster).

I DO KNOW if one plans the flu & covid bivalent booster, you have to either get them at same time OR space them 2 weeks apart!

Everyone has an opinion, you just have to do what works best for you, what do you feel comfortable with!!

I always tell myself I would much rather wear a bandaid (from the shot) & have a sore arm as opposed to having to "wear" a vent tube....

There is a lot not known as well as a lot known about the shots.....this is an entirely new virus we haven't seen before......one has to decide what is "best" for themselves....good luck.....those variants are always changing, the vaccines are a "best guesstimate, like the flu vax every year...and I believe in them.

Take care, Blade!!

I had COVID in June. I've had folks in the medical field on both sides of the fence. One says yes get it others say let them develope the vaccine more. One says I should have plenty of natural immunity since I had it this summer. One says she wouldn't have gotten the first 3 if she knew what she knows now. That it needs more development. And finally another says we need a COVID shot every fall from now own just like the flu shot.

What have you all done or what are your thoughts
