With the current fall bout of Covid making the rounds, did you get another booster for this version of Covid? Or are you comfortable with what you’ve had already to provide sufficient protection? Just trying to figure out if it’s worth it if over 65 and no comorbidity issues. Not interested in the heart related side effects, though they’re very rare.
I did not. I am comfortable that the genetic shift has run its course. What we are left with is the ability to name the virus causing the cold. It is simply not something worth vaccinating against in the overwhelming portion of the population. I don’t even bother testing for it as it is not something I see as a primary issue in the critically ill.
If someone wants to know so they can get Paxlovid so be it. But I see no purpose in testing as I think the risks of treatment are equal to the benefits. I have yet to order a Covid test this season. There are those who will for diagnostic purposes i suooose but I can’t find a good reason to test at this point for what is accurately described as the sniffles.
