Hi everyone! Up early to get my COVID booster, which I’ve just been told I might not need. That would be nice. The last one knocked me out for a day. No time for that now!
Wishing all cats and peeps a happy, healthy day :bighug::cat::coffee:

I had a completely different reaction to the bivalent booster than the other boosters. The first (two) boosters knocked me on my rear. Maaaaybe the bivalent made me a little sleepy (but I operate on too little sleep anywho) but mostly it just gave me an itchy arm, which I didn’t experience with any of the others. FX for you!

Thank you both! Today's booster was going to be done at the office where I get allergy shots, but they ended up suggesting a test to see whether or not I actually needed the booster -- so that's what I did. Results in a week. The Dr. said I might have overreacted to the last booster because I had had covid a couple of months before, therefore the antibodies were already primed and jumped all over it. Good to know.
 
How many boosters have you had so far?

Btw, I think you can try a reduction to 3.5U. That way you'll know how she is doing on the dose before you leave for your work trip on Monday. Whether 3.5U is a safe vacation dose or whether she needs something lower.
 
@Bandit's Mom Thank you, Bhooma!!! You are so kind to be on top of my vacation dose situation (actually Chispa's situation, but I'll take the love :smuggrin:). Thank you for thinking of us. I'll try 3.5 tonight, which as you said will be easier for DBF to judge.

I've had two boosters (December, July) and covid (May). I don't remember why I got the second booster so soon after recovering -- I should have been able to coast for a few more months -- it might have had something to do with visiting my octagenarian parents, and/or maybe there was a new variant at the time? And the one that I went in for today, that was only because the allergist's office called and told me I had an appointment for it, which I do not remember making (am I losing it here? Possibly...). Luckily the doctor, a chatty immunologist, was in the mood to give a dissertation on the pros and cons of boosters. After that, I was only too happy to decline.
