All you would be doing on a flight is sat down. You should be fine. I felt very shitty after my booster but was still able to drag myself to work. I haven’t seen anyone have 48hr side effects so maybe get it on Tuesday if you’re worried.Guys, need your advice. I have a flight on Thurs. And I just got invited for booster shot. Is it a good idea to take moderna shot on Tues or weds before the flight?
Yeah just worried a fever is going to get me blocked from the flight at this point. Thanks for the feedbackAll you would be doing on a flight is sat down. You should be fine.

Yeah get it Tuesday. Side effects are normally a 24 hr thing. I just had a sore arm and felt a bit wiped out. Didn't stop me doing anything.All you would be doing on a flight is sat down.

I had very mild fever about 18-24h after the shot, but it stayed only a couple of hoursYeah just worried a fever is going to get me blocked from the flight at this point. Thanks for the feedback

Yeah thanks for the feedback, guys. I've set the appointment for tomorrow afternoon. That'll hopefully give me enough time to cool off any fever. Fingers crossed.I had very mild fever about 18-24h after the shot, but it stayed only a couple of hours
I was in the same boat as you but had my Moderna booster on Friday morning after two Pfizer shots.Got a Moderna booster yesterday (had two Pfizers previously). It's feels like i'm being constantly punched in the arm.
I rang my GP on Friday and am booked in for Wednesday.Anyone in Ireland have any ideas how I can get a booster in Dublin (Northside) without waiting for 3 or 4 hrs at Croker or the Show Centre?
Mates of mine all seem to be getting appts from their GP for this week. I have the wrong one it seems as I was sent a text to an online portal but they'd no appts until late Jan.
I've put myself on a few pharmacy waiting lists for the crack but heard nothing yet. I understand things are getting critical with Omicron but the way they've gone about this booster lark seems a bit slap-dash.
That's literally what everyone is telling me about their GP.I rang my GP on Friday and am booked in for Wednesday.
This place were good for the vaccine last summer, maybe give them a shot? -https://www.centricgp.ie/tyrrelstown-medical/bookvaccine/
My GP sent me a text to their portal by the time I saw it December was booked out, I do see a lot of chemists with lines out side of them.That's literally what everyone is telling me about their GP.
They looked to have slots this week but when I got to end I got the 6th Jan. Better than nothing and I may still do a walk-in. Thanks a million.

Depends on many factors but :My friend was boostered (Moderna) 11 days ago. He currently has two family members tested positive, one his spouse so has been sharing the same intimate space. Obviously now they have isolated the culprits, but maybe a day too late.
What are the chances he will/won't see a positive result in his own LFT tests? Just wondering if there were any stats yet? I'll keep this forum up to date with his own anecdotal example.
Thanks for that, so the figure is as low as 19% with double vaccinations. But I guess we just don't have the figures for post booster yet.Depends on many factors but :
"A cohort analysis was performed to estimate the odds of household transmission for Omicron
index cases (defined on sequencing, genotyping, or SGTF), compared with Delta index cases
(defined as sequenced B.1.617.2). The analysis included 72,882 index cases (72,761 Delta,
121 Omicron) in residential households with a specimen date between 15 and 28 November
2021. Household transmission was defined as an index (first) case followed by one or more
laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases at the same private dwelling within a 14-day period
(minimum 7 days follow-up). Index cases with a minimum of one household contact were
included in the analysis.
Nineteen percent (23) of Omicron index cases gave rise to a secondary household case,
compared to 8.3% (6,058) of Delta index cases. "
Why on earth not? It isn't much of a hassle for so much benefit. And doubtful it would be forever anyway.Young and healthy people simply won't be interested in getting boosters twice per year for the foreseeable future.
I've had the flu shot every year for over a decade and never had flu since, or if I have it was so mild I didn't identify it as flu.I was planning on getting the flu jab every year as it's free and I'm approaching my mid-40s now. I've had the Flu a few times and I'm in absolutely no rush to catch it again.
I don't see a regular covid booster as being any different.
I've read in numerous places that aspiration isn't required nor is there any evidence that it can cause harm..Does anyone on here watch Dr John Campbell on youtube? I have been watching his videos during the pandemic because they are very informative and no nonsense on there just straight up facts and information. Apparently there is an worldwide issue where many who gives people the shot do not aspirate before injecting meaning that when they stick the needle in they are supposed to pull back the syringe first so that they do not inject the vaccine directly into the blood.
So basically if they pull back the syringe and blood comes into the syringe they have to stick it in again to ensure they are injecting the vaccine into muscle tissue. This is a very basic protocol but apparently is being disregarded on a large scale. Injecting it directly into the blood apparently greatly increases the risk of terrible side effects such as strokes and heart inflammations amongst others.
Was very worrying to hear that such a standard procedure is being ignored.
Yeah, does say there that aspiration is not required. But I'll link these 2 videos in case anyone is interested.I've read in numerous places that aspiration isn't required nor is there any evidence that it can cause harm..

Sore back lasted about 48 hours, feeling back to normal now24 hours in, sore back and feel a bit gross, hopefully this is as bad as it gets.
Did you have to go to UWE?Just had my booster.
Nah, I’m down in Cornwall with my Dad for Christmas so popped to a nearby drop in centre. Got a passive aggressive line of questioning for some reason about why we were there.Did you have to go to UWE?

To get my boosterWhy were you there?
It's been through clinical trials in the UK, as part of a series of booster trials run during the summer. Basically, it worked great to get antibody levels up and it pushed the immune system memory cells to give a wider response as well.My parents live in Mexico and had their first two doses of Pfizer back in April-June. So far so good. Unfortunately the government down there has in all it's wisdom decided to only offer Astra Zeneca as a booster option. Of course they will accept whatever is on offer, but they are a bit anxious because the MX government offers little information on how AZ works as a booster to MRNA.
I have tried to find reliable news or studies of people getting AZ as a booster after a 2 mrna shot course, but can find absolutely nothing. In almost every case it has been the other way around with Pfizer/Moderna being offered as boosters after AZ.
Does anyone here know if any other country has tried this?
