I got my booster shot today!



Didn't qualify earlier but was determined to get one now.

CVS and Walgreens are completely booked into January, so I had to look elsewhere. My area is highly vaxxed - even the Republicans are vaxxed!

I finally went to a lesser-known pharmacy chain that wasn't advertising their vaccines very much.

An interesting place that has a section set aside for acupuncture treatments.

Anyway, Pfizer triple vaxxed for COVID and got my flu shot in October!

So far no side effects, but then I didn't have any after my first two doses, either.

vaccinated majority step up for the booster, but for the good anyway.

No side effects here either, but since I'm immunocompromised I'd have actually preferred a fever or something. Just overnight.

had pretty much the choice of any hour throughout the entire day. I was in and out in ten minutes and only gone for about half an hour. Real quick.
