I got ~7-8 (last 3 bivalent) with last dose in late 2023, all mrna (mostly comirnaty). Would do it again. I masked with a well fitting 3M FFP2 since 2020 when outside, haven't dined outside or made exceptions for friends. I still caught it somehow in Nov 2024. It was awful. - ThreadSky

I was bedridden for 2 weeks pretty much. My sense of smell has not returned.

(To my knowledge I have a normal immune system.)

We either need better vaccines, or we need RKI to relax their policies for who qualifies for the boosters (which is the reason why I wasn't vaccinated in 2024).

You need to qualify for boosters ? In France everyone who wants them can get them - as far as I know. Some people get invitation letters from health care, urging them to get vaccinated, tough. Its the case for my mom because of her age and me, because I'm in cancer remission

Yes, RKI guidelines say you need to be old (65+ iirc) or have a weakened immune system or be close to someone who is in those two groups (working or living with old people etc) to get a booster if you already had a third? fourth? shot. If you want it yearly it's very restricted.

willowkennedy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ah ok. These guidelines are basically the same here, but there's no restriction.

ave.zone•2 days ago

Yeah, here they're restrictions.

The age limit is 60 (like flu, shingles…) And it‘s a recommendation: People of that age or with preconditions are recommended to get the shot, everybody else just need to find doctors who give it without that recommendation. Many of those around!

Many? Where do you live??

metronautix.bsky.social•1 day ago

Where do you need one? I think @bildungabersicher.net used to be able to recommend someone in most areas

AND you need to find the money, because without recommendation from STIKO the statutory health insurance generally won't cover it.

1/2 You need more frequent vaccination boosters. 2023 is far too long ago. In Hamburg, there are several low-threshold options.

For now:

- BCRT Hamburg (20€/vaccination)
- Impfzentrum Hamburg City

And during the usual vaccination season in Germany:

- Urologenpraxis Klingenberger ⤵️
