23. I got mine for the latest variant this past Saturday, 3 days ago.

Sep 9

I was told that the vax I received takes into account the latest variant.

This was my 10th Covid shot.

I've been getting them faithfully apx. every 6 months since they have been available, because if I remember correctly, that is what was recommended...every 6 months (I could be wrong on this...going from memory).

I slipped on this most recently received shot though...my last one prior to this past Saturday was on 10/28/24.

Also, one of the reasons that I suggested you get yours ASAP is because of the uncertainty and political ramifications concerning the availability of the Covid shot. So in my opinion, get it while you can...but I guess if you are having any uncertainty, you might want to check with your doctor. I'm no doctor, but I say...get the shot!

I'll be getting the flu shot this upcoming Saturday.

Good luck!
