Poked vaccine 💉 💉 arm is a little tender today but not too bad. Lying on it last night wasn’t great.

I am still getting used to the fact we have access to all our health records online.

It’s really cool to be able to see everything from yesterday’s jabs to an X-ray report (though no actual image), to general doc visits and prescriptions going all the way back to 2003. Some Dr notes are visible in reports, but not much.

Oct 21 is the earliest I’ve got a flu or COVID shot since 2022 when I got COVID jabbed on Oct 15 and Flu on the 24th.

The first entries are actually HepB and Tetanus shots I got before backpacking around Europe in summer 2003.
Good times!

Booked my covid/flu vaccination last night - contemplating riding my bike to the appointment, even though it will be dark. It's mostly on protected bike lanes, so I think I'll do it.

Plus, I'll get to try @EsquimaltBC's newest bike lane!

omg this is just too tragic. :(

I realize I’m yelling into the void here but for the love of god people, GET VACCINATED. All of them. Always.

You don't know who you'd be saving... including potentially this newborn who got it from their mother, who was unvaccinated for reasons unknown and got it from ?

If Ontario, and Canada, had a fully vaccinated (for all who can take the vaccine) population, this newborn would not have had measles *the day it was born*.

Measles was *eradicated* from Canada in 1998 thanks to strong vaccination programs over 30 years.

Now vaccinations are way down (covering all types of illnesses) and here we are... Measles is back in a big way.

I blame Facebook and Twitter, but mostly Facebook... This study says there is “more consistent social media engagement by individuals expressing vaccine hesitancy.”

In fact, my post falls *exactly* in line with this study.

I was completely spent yesterday. The vaccinations on Wednesday afternoon knocked me out. Went to bed and directly to sleep at 9PM!

That said, I had a good sleep last night. And today I feel good!

Vaccination Levels Max - COVID+Flu!

Well there you go. It turns out that one of my 85-yr-old dad's friends who offered to take him out and about in the cold winter months despite being frail and housebound, and who calls himself a 'health expert', is an anti-vaxxer. Pretty solid one too. He is now banned from our property. #GetVaxed

Given a) that current variants are MORE contagious than ever, b) the HUGE dangers from #LongCovid, c) the danger to others who are more vulnerable, and d) the more we pass it back & forth the more opportunities #Covid has to mutate into something even worse!

#MaskUp, #GetVaxed and minimize time spent indoors with strangers.

Make no mistake we are in this for the long haul! ✊

Got my booster!
For #Covid19 and the #flu both.
One in each arm...

Not complaining or anything, always better than the alternative. Still, doing anything requiring my soon-to-be sore heavy arms next day will be extra challenging.
