Hit up the local VA connect for the RSV (Covid still not authorized here) and somehow there was a paperwork SNAFU so I went to our VA clinic & gave my feedback directly to the Pharmacist - she gave me my Flu & I have plans for the other two very soon. Also I don't know how current (the compound mix) my last shingles shot was so I have that in the works as well.

A violinist I was to play with got really sick and couldn't make the gig last minute. Tested positive for covid. One of my best friend's parents just came down with covid hard while in Greece. WTF?
Sadly for obvious reasons we never reached herd immunity. This is going to be with us for a very long time now. I suggest wearing an N95 respirator when you go out and getting your annual Covid vaccine (sadly, even if you have to pay for it). I got mine 2 weeks ago it's this years new formulation.

How did this year's vaccine formulation hit you? I've heard from several people that the effects were much less severe than previous covid boosters.

I had a temp of 103 for about 22 hours. I'm guessing that was the RSV vaccine. Usually between the flu or covid I spend three days feeling poor. This was short and sharp so I'm guessing RSV. Luckily not bad this year.

There are several of these foundations out there that cover a wide variety of illnesses as long as you get your ducks in a row with the paperwork and authorizations. Many pharmaceutical companies have patient assistance programs as well.:

"The newly expanded COVID-19 & Post COVID Conditions fund assists with post COVID conditions resulting from COVID-19. We recognize that some people infected with the virus that causes Covid-19, including those with minor or no symptoms will develop Post-COVID Conditions. By broadening the scope of our original COVID-19 fund we can more adequately support the needs of those affected. The fund can assist with co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles (medications and office visits), over the counter medications and medical insurance premiums."
