I got covid before I was allowed to get the first vaccines and I’m still pissed about that since I drove by the closest vaccination spot every day for work and it was almost always empty. I lived in a very red area so it was very much a case of “doors are open but nobody’s lining up” but I was still not part of o e of the groups they allowed to get one yet.

So yeah, I will be continuing to keep up on it, because that was the worst 2 months of my adult life, and I am absolutely certain I got some of the cognitive side effects of covid.

What a weird question to ask, NYT

You can still get it after the vaccine as well.

The vaccines help a lot, but don’t think you can’t ever catch it. Gotta remain somewhat cautious still.

I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten it since getting the vaccine and boosters, but it was super mild in comparison.

Basically I figured it was a cold until I stopped smelling things again for a couple days, but in under a week I was fine. No test to confirm.

If I’m going to be in close proximity to people I still wear a mask, but my day-to-day allows me to avoid people for the most part.

I get a flu shot every year. Mostly, I forget to do so until the text comes out from my pharmacy. I don’t recall hearing about a new covid shot from my pharmacy. I also listened to the radio campaign s they did but didn’t know a new shot was out

I tried to get a booster a couple months ago because last autumn’s shots were waning. I was turned away by pharmacists, even though my insurance would cover it. They claimed they were reserved for people in certain high risk groups (maybe due to a shortage, although I’m not aware of a demand peak in summertime, and I hadn’t seen any shortage mentioned in the news).

Whatever the underlying reasons might be, the result was that I tried repeatedly to get a booster, and was denied.

I mentioned this on lemmy (in this community, I think) and a couple of jerks appeared, one suggesting that I was anti-vax (how??) and another accusing me of spreading misinformation (what misinformation??) A mod then removed my comment, citing misinformation.

In any case, both experiences were really discouraging. I hope other people who actually want to be vaccinated don’t run in to the same problems.

silence7 OP ,

I think this is pretty common. It’s been hard to get more than one per year in the US unless you’re over 65.

I’ve had all the shots and have not had Covid.

Covid has a cardiac component which puts me at elevated risk, if course I’ll get this shot too. ASAP!

I’m ungodly fucking pissed that I took all the shots/precautions and I got it twice :(

Nurse_Robot ,

For what it’s worth, you most likely had much more mild symptoms for a much shorter duration because you were vaccinated! But I still apologize, getting sick sucks.

Kbobabob ,

The vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting COVID, never has.

silence7 OP ,

There’s a fair bit of masking or luck involved in that at this point. The current crop of COVID vaccines don’t prevent disease for more than a few months.

Probably not my Trump-loving conspiracy theorist coworker who mentioned this to me and said “It’s scary”. Not to be confused with the other Trump-loving conspiracy theorist coworker who believes that there wasn’t a pandemic but several people that he knows got COVID multiple times each.

MagicShel ,

I would have questions, but I already know the answers would give me an apoplectic aneurysm. So I’m just going to let mysteries be mysteries.

MyOpinion ,

I just get them every year like my flu shot.

silence7 OP ,

We really ought to be doing twice a year with the current vaccines; you can if you’re over 65.

irish_link ,

Really you can if you pick a different pharmacy to get it at. Then again not sure if you’re in a state that has mandated record keeping. Then I guess you can’t but in GA I just go to CVS for my first one and the Kroger for my mid year one.

*Raises hand.

I sure as fuck am.

silence7 OP ,

I would if I hadn’t had COVID too recently to qualify. Was miserable. Do not recommend.

socphoenix ,

Got Covid for the first time last October and ran a 103 degree fever for days and struggled to feel completely normal for almost two weeks. I was already planning to keep getting the shots prior to catching it but definitely keeping up with them now. I hope to never catch that one again.

MeekerThanBeaker ,

I guess I got lucky. Got Covid for the first time (as far as I know) last month. Was basically just a bit tired for four days with sniffles. Maybe I’ll wait until December to get this shot before the holidays begin.
