I have lost count of how many covid posts I have done.
I do know it has been a hot minute since I did one.
The next covid booster, which targets the Flirt variant, is out. Reminder the Flirt variant is an offshoot of the Omicron strain. The Flirt variant, or KP.2, was one of the fast-moving variants of the spring and will probably give the healthcare system headaches in the winter.
It got approved by the FDA on August 22 and the doses were rushed to stores.
I received the latest booster on 8/30/24 because it had been 10 months since the previous one.
Yes, my arm hurt.
No, I didn’t have any other symptoms. No fever, no chills, no malaise.
Nothing.
Schedule the booster, take the weekend off, and get it.
Better safer than sorry.
Or do I have to remind you that it is still a lethal disease? Or that some states do not track the deaths from covid? Or the case amount? Or that people are still being admitted and dying?
Gee, I hope not.
Get the covid booster. The more people who do, the less likely the virus will mutate again.
We might not be so lucky next time.
