4th shot

[tielan]

Today in NSW (possibly Australia) the 4th vaccine shot is available to 'general public' over 40 (ie. without prior conditions, etc). Got the Pfizer.

So far, no ill effects other than the standard sore arm and tiredness. But I'm always tired these days so that hardly counts...

Yay for 4th dose! ^_^ \o/

It's Australia-wide, and its actually people over 30:

"Another 7.5 million Australians are becoming eligible for a fourth COVID-19 vaccine as new Omicron sub-variants drive higher case numbers and hospitalisations around the country.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has recommended the shot for people over 50, while those aged 30 to 49 may choose to have a fourth dose."

I heard on the news this morning that Biden may announce opening up the 4th dose to all people soon, given that case rates here are going up precipitously!

I got my 4th dose prior to going on vacation, not sure what that will mean when it comes to a fall/winter surge.

Hooray for getting in right away!

I'm very glad you have gotten the 4th vaccination.
