msconduct I was surprised when someone said on Reddit recently that he didn't think there was anywhere on Earth that would let you have Covid vaccines more than once a year. He was equally surprised when I told him that in New Zealand you can have a (still free for now) vaccine every six months if you're over 30 (and under 30 with certain health conditions). He said that in fact a Florida pharmacy had turned him away altogether because "he didn't need it".
Obviously, that's Florida. But is it really true that you can only get a vaccine every year? One Redditor said he got one in the US every four months because the pharmacies where he was didn't care and kept no record. That wouldn't work here as it goes on your health record, but I think I'm pretty OK with a six-monthly vaccine anyway.
Today wasn't Covid vaccine day, as I had one in February before I went to the beach. I'm going to Western Australia in October so I'll be having my next one just before that. But it was flu vaccine day. Most peoples don't even notice them, but because of my autoimmune thyroid disease every vaccine hits me like a hammer. So pre-vaccine I've been furiously filling the fridge with cheese and home-made soups and the freezer with various home-made sourdoughs. I'm feeling pretty crappy now, so I'll be grateful not to have to cook over the next few days while my immune system tries to get back off the floor.
