Pariah Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 In a move that angered a few political leaders here, our Governor ordered state institutions to follow President Biden's lead and fly the flag at half staff in memoriam of the million or so Americans who have died, many of them unnecessarily, from this plague. pinecone, Hermit, Cygnia and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 From NYT, lead paragraph: Quote As the coronavirus morphs into a stubborn and unpredictable facet of everyday life, scientists and federal health officials are converging on a new strategy for immunizing Americans: a vaccination campaign this fall, perhaps with doses that are finely tuned to combat the version of the virus expected to be in circulation.

Lord Liaden Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Really? I hadn't heard that contracting COVID affected the timing of your booster. Is that the regulation in your area, or is it physician's advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience was the same. For a day, I didn't want to lift that arm even to shoulder height, much less higher. I could, but I definitely felt it. Stayed sore for a couple days beyond that, but it wasn't inhibiting in any meaningful way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it is or not. But if that is something that you or someone you know is experiencing, you/they should probably go get checked out anyway.
