I'm close to six months.
Booster shots anyone? As for me, I'm close to 2 weeks, so have a bit of time yet.
Yeah, I am as well. I’d be glad to get a booster anytime, but it becomes a bit more complicated when looking at the larger picture. For one thing there’s the WHO’s position that boosters should be on hold until vaccines are made available to all the countries that still need them (not sure I agree with that). And then I wonder about the overall progress in the U.S,, which is stalled because of vaccine refusal. Will it be even harder to convince those folks to get vaccinated if they know they still have to get another shot down the road? Or is it hopeless trying to get those folks vaccinated regardless?I'm close to six months.
I'd still rather be in lockdown than on a ventilator. Australia has taken the anti Florida approach of regular lockdowns and until Delta it was effective. Delta is a different beast as other countries like China and the USA are also finding out but the majority of people in Australian hospitals are unvaccinated and the vaccination rates are climbing quickly now especially with younger people now being hospitalized more often and the fear campaign over Astra Zeneca seems to be on its last legs especially with many middle aged people who were having doubts about the vaccination a few months ago now coming forward. 7 million Astra jabs for seven deaths re blood clots. Those odds are much better than the odds of getting seriously ill with Delta.Delta variant is undoing all the good work in some countries. America daily cases now over 110k and increasing. In Australia we have had health authorities and some politicians giving mixed messages on AZ. There is a lack of supply of Pfizer.
Happy for you Europeans and Americans who had your shots 6 months ago and are now thinking about booster shot. I only had my first Pfizer jab on Friday. In Sydney we are in hard lockdown but some people in pockets of Sydney are still ignoring public health orders. Time to get tough until the vaccines finally reach a critical mass of the population.
So far we can still ride our bikes within our local government areas (equivalent of US counties), that still gives us decent freedom. But I hope it stays this way.

Yep. The odds of dying from AV jab is similar to the odds of being struck by lightening.7 million Astra jabs for seven deaths re blood clots. Those odds are much better than the odds of getting seriously ill with Delta.
I feel sorry for you. Part about lockdown reminded me that not so distanced, but almost lost, memories from winter. I hate to go back to it. I kinda enjoyed normality last 2-3 months. I was on vacation recently in Montenegro and I am really glad I made it in this time of relative freedom from Covid.
I think good news in some countries like UK, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Malta, Cyprus there is Delta fading. Bad news is vaccines are not efficient in Delta transmission but thanks to god it is succesfull against hospitalisation and death.
Speaking of vaccines, when I hyperbolize it, here in Slovakia government need to literally bribe people to get a shot and it is still not working. When you persuade person to get vaccine you earn 30 to 90 euros depending on age of vaccinated person. There will be also lottery for vaccinated people soon. 2 milion euros will be given each week until october.
I am flying to Memphis..bus to Jonesboro..then OKC..my trip is like a Covid war zone..When I got Pfizer I had a sore arm but not much else of consequences.Checking back to see if COVID has peaked in Arkansas yet. Nope. Florida hospitalization numbers are also eyebrow raising. I've said it before, but this winter is going to be really bad for the unvaccinated in the US.
