Jorge Caballero, MDToday, I received my free COVID-19 tests that I ordered via the US Postal Service last week.
If you haven't done so already, you can order up to 4 free COVID-19 tests by visiting https://special.usps.com/testkits
Chris Boese@DataDrivenMD @7leaguebootdisk I got mine today too. Had my booster on Saturday. Sunday was sick as a dog, but today better!

My son, young adult, says he has never been as sick as he was after boosting (not true, I remember his 4 yo fever-wracked self fresh from the bath, shivering uncontrollably while puking into the toilet, still my mental image of misery). He won't do it again.

@MHowell @DataDrivenMD @7leaguebootdisk I will do it every time a booster is available. Being puny and sleeping for a day is far better than Long COVID and infinitely better than death. Shringrix side effects just as bad or worse. I don’t want Shingles either
@ChrisBoese @DataDrivenMD @7leaguebootdisk
No, you don't want shingles. My mom, who stubbornly chose not to use the prescribed medication, suffered with stabbing shingles pain for 8-10 years.

@MHowell @ChrisBoese @7leaguebootdisk I've had patients hospitalized for treatment of shingles *pain* — another proof point that the vaccine is always a better option than the actual disease

Yeah, but somewhat self-inflicted, because she questioned her doctors when she didn't know more than them.

7leaguebootdisk𓅽@MHowell @ChrisBoese @DataDrivenMD well, perhaps he'll get the novavax when it gets approved, it has lower side effects than the mRNA vaccines.
