I got my flu shot today n will get my booster in 2 weeks. The pharmacist told me about a new pneumonia shot that has a protein that is more solvent than the 2 shot I got a couple of years ago. I’ve had pneumonia twice in my life n think I should get that, too. What do you think or have you heard of it?

He hasn’t ever had a reaction to all our Covid vax and boosters. Each time I had extremely sore arm, chills, fatigue and just felt bad for 36 hrs. So I was expecting the same with the bivalent. Instead, all I had was the very sore arm!

Good luck!

as did my wife and we had absolutely no side effects whatsoever.

We even felt confident enough to attend a Michael Bublé concert in San Antonio last weekend amid a sea of unmasked people. We put the mask on and off a few times, but mostly off.

BTW, Bublé was AWESOME. A really good show with jazz, rock, pop, swing, classics, originals. He's got a 40-pc band that really kicks ass.

Next month: new flu shot

He was so happy to get it because Covid was spreading through students on campus (22,000 students). Plus he will be tutoring in middle schools soon.

16. I was just trying to look up information on this.

If I got my first two shots (Pfizer) and my booster (last year, around December), should I still go ahead and get this new booster? It's been hard for me to find much information about this new booster and who exactly should get it.

Also, as a second question, if someone got the two shots of Pfizer but never got a booster, should they get the old booster + new booster? Or just opt straight for this new booster?

Thanks if anyone is able to help me out.

I got the first 2 shot vaccine, then a booster 6 months later, but not the 2nd one, decided to wait until the new version came out. Got that one today after nearly a year since the original formula booster, but this will be the last one for me.

Wondering: Should we get the one that grows a 4th arm or the one that lets us control the Jewish Space Laser by mind beams?
