Boosters

But but..don't you see, 46% of the ICU are vaccinated sheeple. Ergo, vaccines don't work.

In case this is of any use to anyone, Citywest are taking walk-ins today for boosters for those over 40. I was told they're closing at lunch time but not a specific time.

Covid vaccines dont contain egg or latex.

"Neither the Pfizer/BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Moderna or Janssen COVID-19 vaccine contain any egg proteins and none of the vaccines are contraindicated in egg allergy."

"Neither the Pfizer/BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Moderna or Janssen COVID-19 vaccine vial contains latex."

Your misinformation claims about vaccines are debunked below.

Have you got any real supported data on how many people are medically advised to avoid covid vaccines? Cos you appear to be making this **** up.

Look up what anaphylaxis means and get back to me. I gave brief examples of other vaccines, go through each ingredient and you’ll get in and around 10%, which is the expected value.

ill help

(Edit) sorry this wasn’t meant for odyssey 06. (Edit)

Honestly you’re part of the problem. Not everyone can get it and you are most definitely brainwashed if you think so. The government should be ecstatic that 90%+ have gotten it.

if this was the us where 60% got it then I’d definitely see the point. definitely some nut jobs there.

this is 100% a problem with the mismanagement of the health system. I mean we can’t blame the people responsible like the person who set it up (M Martin), the person who was health minister and gave it to an incompetent to run (Varadker) or the plumber who runs the show (Reid). Donnelly isn’t helping himself either, but when numbers 1 and 2 oversaw the creation and running of the shítshow, you’d wonder how he’s being gagged.

got my booster yesterday - no side effects - (1st vaccine I got was Astrazenaca - got Pfizer booster) strange? my understanding is that if you get side effects it means its working.. ie: your body is reacting to the virus/vaccine and thus you will produce antibodies which will help fight infection?

I was in your position yesterday, felt fine going to bed (just a bit tender at the injection site) but got chills and some muscle pains during the night and woke up with a headache and nausea this morning. Paracetamol and some more sleep (didn't get much overnight) helped, but in hindsight I wish I'd taken the paracetamol going to bed.

Obviously your experience may differ, but might be no harm to take a small dose as a precaution when going to bed. I also got Pfizer initial course with Moderna booster, and the latter hit harder than either dose of the former.

Anyone know if the yellow cards they hand out are ok for travel to countries that require the booster like France or Austria (in the case you previously got Janssen) ?

Edit: didn't mean post. Want to delete

As I’ve said I felt grand after the booster yesterday and took ibuprofen several times yesterday and made a point to sleep on my right side during the night but must have turned to my left and Jesus h Christ that hurt. Thankfully it’s just my arm but it wasn’t that sore the first two times. Hopefully that’s all that’s at me today.

Well I had no temperature but as I said earlier where it’s sore it’s very sore which is around where I got the injection. It seems to have eased now for me but yeah didn’t have that pain from my arm the first two times.

Got a text from the HSE saying an appointment has now been arranged for a booster, then another text about 3 hours later saying that appointment was now cancelled. No other word since. This happen anyone else?

Last time people vaccinated by gp received cert in the post - mostly the elderly at that time. I assume, having been boosted by gp also, they will again receive updated cert in post? Is there a time frame for this? My mother needs it for travel if 9 months will be the validity of original cert.

Also, I received cert by email following vaccination in Citywest last time. I received my booster from a random gp surgery (literally happened to be passing and they had a sign outside), with no vaccine card with batch number even given as proof. Should I expect the updated cert to be sent by email or post now??

No it doesnt have to be different. In theory it may be more beneficial to have a mix but many people who got pfizer originally preferred a known entity. Anecdotally moderna side effects seem to be worse (still fleeting).

Most of the boosters done at mvcs were done with moderna purely because we have a huge stock of it that needs to be used.

It could be the case that a long lasting high efficacy (against infection) vaccine is impossible, and we're left with various vaccines that all have similar long duration protection against severe disease but different short term antibody responses.

In that case periodically tweaked mRNA vaccines might retain their crown. They certainly seem to have increased in popularity with public procurers throughout the pandemic, despite more burdensome logistics.

There is a strong contrast between mRNA popularity amongst the medically qualified vs antipathy from random internet cranks. Maybe that's just contrarianism; if the government recommended the red pill those people would find a reason to advocate for the blue.

I got my booster at my local pharmacy yesterday. Booster was Pfizer, as was my initial vaccination back in August. My updated cert already arrived today.

Aside from that, I'm in the horrors today. Fever, chills, headache, nausea, stiffness, fatigue.... seem to have got the full bundle of non-severe side effects. Feels like as bad a hangover as I've ever had and have been in bed all day as a result. It's not nice, and certainly a step or two up from what I thought would be a mild head cold-like experience.

I won't be going near another booster unless I have no choice.

It's strange, I had Pfizer x 3, with the side effects lessening with each dose. First one hit me like your booster impact description.

I wonder what it signifies.

Just got my updated Cert emailed to me at 16:25, was booster-ed in City Hall, Cork on 11/12/2021 and my surname starts with 'O'.

I think the time between vaccines was changed from 6months to 3mths. I was very nervous about getting a third one, but it was fine, and I got it after 3mths. Problem is mine was an extra shot, and I'm expecting to be called for a booster any day now!

I'm even more nervous about this one,it will be 4 in less than a year,and I can't decide what to do!

My head is wrecked with it all.
