Fifth Covid Booster
Just for the record, today I had my 5th Covid-19 vaccination booster. As an Old, I get prompted by the HSE to get free Covid-19 boosters and winter ‘flu jabs so I booked an appointment at a local pharmacist as I did last year. In fact I went into work this morning to say farewell to newly-doctored Aoibhinn Gallagher, and walked to the pharmacy afterwards. I didn’t have to wait long and the vaccination itself only took a matter of minutes.
  That makes seven Covid-19 jabs altogether for me: the initial vaccination was in two stages, and I have since had five boosters. All but one of these have been Pfizer; the other was Moderna.
On previous occasions of this type I’ve usually managed to arrange an afternoon free afterwards in case of any adverse reactions. That was easy this time because it is Study Week at Maynooth University so there are no lectures. I did feel a bit tired after the jab, and had a short nap this afternoon. I also seem to have developed a runny nose, which may or may not be a reaction to the injection, but I don’t think it’s very serious.
