I know everyone posited this outcome, but it's interesting to see the stats to back it up.

I was supposed to get my booster and flu shot this weekend. Instead, I got the flu. Ugh.
ETA: I'm slowly starting to feel human again, but a very weak one.

LT for the same scenario but with covid. I was scheduled for last Friday and got covid the week before.

Three weeks ago my kindergartener brought home something nasty and then again the end of last week. The whole family got sick both times but none of us have been able to turn a rapid or a PCR. I guess I should be thankful for small favors, though I'll admit I'm not super confident about the accuracy of the tests in regards to the new variants. But I cannot imagine a winter where we're all getting sick every 2 or so weeks, this winter is going to suck. Oh and of course we want to schedule flu shots for everyone, but clearly we're going to have to time it *just right*. Thankfully my H and I both got the latest booster right before the first illness came home.

DD, DS, and myself are still asymptomatic and negative. DD and I went to my grandfather's funeral, so I'm feeling very fortunate in that regard. H is starting to feel better though he's worried about the fatigue since he's going back on Thursday. He made the switch from high school to elementary PE, so that's probably going to be rough π¬. He hasn't been sleeping all day or anything but gets tired after pretty normal activities.

doublestuf I thought so, too. It's why I wait until about now to get my shot every year, but the doctor said it is tearing through right now.

I know so many people with Flu A right now. Itβs hitting DDβs junior high hard. Get your flu shots early this year! Feel better soon enchanted!

My kidβs school has a flu clinic thing which is convenient but itβs not until the end of the month. I think Iβll take him to get a shot elsewhere.

DH got his flu shot 2 weeks ago because his Dr offered it at his appointment. My kids got theirs last week. DH got the updated booster today and I'm getting my flu and booster tomorrow morning. I've been waiting until I had a few days off because the other shots made me feel crappy.
We usually start flu vaccines for our patients Oct 1st but we haven't received them yet for some reason.

We're going to a flu clinic this Saturday. At least that's the plan.

My kids got flu shots today. Everyone has had every dose of covid vaccine they're eligible for at this point. Hopefully we can avoid some shit this year.

Waiting for bivalent kids boosters/the littlest one to be 60 days out from his last dose, but otherwise, we're as caught up as possible! Hope it skips you (at least some!)

I got all three of us scheduled at CVS for tomorrow afternoon for flu shots. MH will come with me to pick up DS from daycare and we'll go straight there. Probably let DS pick something out afterwards as bribery π

We are all officially as vaxed and boosted against flu and covid as we can be! I feel like hot garbage today, body aches and low fever and I tossed and turned all night. If I remember right it only lasted 24 hours last time so hopefully it won't be too much longer. It always hits me the worst for some reason.

Look I gave birth during two consecutive covid waves and being in the hospital was what it was, ykwim? Oh yeah I'm definitely still doing it. It just sucks having to worry about a surge during that time.
