Once more for old time's sake

I went to get my bivalent booster today, at the same CVS where I got my third jab, as they gutted it and redid it with more health-space a few years back and thus it has sufficient chairs. Which came in handy today because they were running behind and the pharmacist took her lunch at 4pm so lots of people were milling around. I left to go get coffee, drank it outside, and then came back--I only waited about ten minutes before I got the jab once I checked in. Moderna this time, like the third shot. I forgot my vax card, so I suppose that's the end of updating it, although the info got sent to the state database so I shall have to remember to pull my QR code again in a few days. (Not that anyone, ever, has ever taken the QR code as proof of anything.) So far I have some mild arm pain, but it's definitely not as bad as the third jab. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

I didn't get the flu shot with it, only because the flu shot has started to give me arm pain in the past few years and I wanted to minimize the chance of side effects as much as I can. Next week is my monthly allergy shot, so today I made an appointment for the flu shot in two weeks at the same pharmacy. I was going to wait until October, but I'm hearing the flu season is early and rough so far and I'm seeing MCR in Oakland on October 5, so I definitely want to have all the vaccines possible before then.
