I'm just putting this out there early so you guys know what I'm seeing behind the scenes. I have been unable to transfer any patients for months, but my census has gradually crept up to the point where I consistently have people waiting days in the ER for admits to the floor. And this is actually during a time when there are few covid cases in oklahoma. This is extremely, extremely bad if we have a surge from covid or influenza.

So when is the government going to say it's ok for me to get a booster?
I want one, but it feels wrong lying when asked if I'm eligible.

There are still about 135 million unvaccinated people in the US.

Half the country is vax'd at this point. If variants don't get us, we won't see the peaks we did last year.

Already needing a booster in less than a year?? Almost like the vaccine is an ongoing experiment or something.

And all you people who got the vaccine better get your flu shots or you will risk other people's health. Don't be a Hippocrate

If youre in the US, just act when you see the inevitable free flu shot signs pop up in pharmacies.

Maybe but the country is vaccinated and i think that will count after like another 6months of covid19

Despite vaccinations, i thought its expected that the year lools like this: Fall 21 said to be the rise in cases. Winter 21 will be the brunt again. Spring 22 carries over the cases. Summer 22 will be the much needed break to reassess, plan, & follow through new contingencies.

2020 blind sided the world in a pandemic
2021 was about testing & re-opening
2022 is gonna be the new way of pandemic life

Get vaccinated, wear a mask in public, wash your hands or use sanitizer every so often, and dont touch your face unless your hands are clean. Youll avoid getting sick from most anything doing that.

Similar here in the UK, and our health officials have been putting out warnings for what feels like months and being utterly ignored by the government.

Ignored again, this is. They did this last time and we got forced into a hurried lockdown, but BRITISH PLUCK will see us through.

Not just ignored, often times deliberately gaslighted. It seems like the new way for politicians to deal with this is to do literally nothing and then blame the results on experts.

All the while ignoring the rules they insist others follow themselves.

Fucking Boris refused to wear a mask in hospital this week on a visit and had to be made, like a child having a tantrum, to put it on after being repeatedly asked only to take it off for for the media.

If he won't even do it, why the fuck will anyone else?

Wife and son got rona. Both were vaccinated and days away from being able to get the booster. I got boosted 4 weeks prior and didn't get rona.

I see my county's daily average is even higher than same time last year but everyone thinks it's normal. I guess it probably will be the new normal

For real. Most people here in the UK won't be able to get boosters for quite awhile yet, but anyone who can should. I'll be getting mine soon and am glad it's now being mandated we have to be vaccinated as healthcare workers at last.

Do what you can and we'll be immensely thankful for it.

As a healthcare worker, I can tell you it will never be normal for us. We cannot maintain this level of workload. It's not sustainable.

this but i significantly lower my risk to lower amount of store trips and wearing a mask still won't be enough if an elderly citizen gets covid and spreads it to my relative. if i can make it to december 4th with full protection after the shot i'll be fine.

just have to take one for the team on the 20th.

It's always been incredible to me how so many people just don't care about themselves or others. Throughout this pandemic. It makes me awfully pessimistic about the future of this country.

In any case, I got a flu shot for the first time and I've already got my booster(Connecticut is letting grocery store workers participate in the first wave this time, which they should've have done in the first place because I got texts about some one new getting COVID goddamned constantly last year! It was terrifying).
Even here, in liberal ass CT, lots of people just don't bother wearing masks inside. It's sad and discouraging. But then, even our elected leaders seem to be of the mind that this will all be over if we just believe hard enough that things are back to normal.

And don't be a hero, TC. Heroism is supposed to be a temporary thing, not a permanent gig.

Just get it if your 6-8 months from your second dose. Walgreens will give you one for free. They dont check or ask for confirmation on whether you meet the criteria or not. And there are tons of appointments available everyday because people are not getting them. So don't worry about feeling like your taking it away from someone else. If anything you are doing them a favor since the doses don't last long and will probably go to waste. Do what you have to do to keep you and yours safe.
