Coronavirus Conscious: Are YOU?

These days, we cannot deny that we became so coronavirus conscious. It was not what we wanted but we need to face the ugly truth. Personally, I do not want to live like omen scenarios in movies. From the bottom of my heart, I am still thinking twice to have the booster. I do not know why I am feeling this way about it. Did you have the booster? Did you notice that you are coronavirus conscious now? Image Credit: images.indianexpress.com

After my son got infected we knew that we could still be hit with the virus despite the two shots we got. But I knew the big difference between being infected without the vaccine and with the vaccine. I got hit when I was not yet vaccinated so I hot the worst that this virus could do to my body. My son had it when he was already vaccine with him and he got mild symptoms only. So we made sure we got the booster as soon as everyone got better from it.

@Shavkat That is what is guaranteed by the vaccine that is why Omicron was not able to infect us since most of us here in NCR was almost vaccinated already and the virus was not able to flourish and spread since most were able to recover and not make the virus infectious anymore.

@rsa101 It seems Omicron is infecting people in China and even in Hong Kong now.

That's a good effect because we can be infected with not that serious signs and symptoms. Thus, we need to have vaccines in our systems.

I had the booster. Age and gender don't put me in any risk groups for side effect, and although it also means I'm not in riskgroup for covid-19 I got it. My job takes me out and about a lot (18 school visits in 3 weeks). Plus it'll make travelling easier, at least in parts of Europe. Why do you worry about with the booster? Can you pick which vaccine you get?

@Shavkat That's not unusual for vaccines though, that you get 2 shots quite fast and then a booster. And then you have to get re-vaccinated with some time inbetween. Vaccination for horses work that way, and I think one of the things we vaccinate them against is another corona virus. I got a Moderna booster. It was either that or Pfizer, and it didn't matter much to me.

If I am going to have it, I might have the Pfizer brand. I just do not like having one. Don't get me wrong. Before this concern, they said that two shots are fine. Then, they suddenly asked to have this booster.

We have had the boosters but our numbers are rising so we're staying home as much as possible.

Is the booster the same as the two previous dosages?

@Shavkat No, the booster was different. One was Astra Zeneker and the other Pfizer but I don't know which was which.

You said it right. It is becoming worse day by day there. Mainland China blocked the boundary between them because of this killer virus.

Yes, I got the booster, now they are talking about a 4th shot. I will gladly get it if it will help protect me against this virus.

I have 4 vaccines but I´m aware that they don´t fully protect me. So I also wear masks, keep social distance and wash my hands with soap all the time. As I see it, the corona virus came to stay.
