Face masks

Have a few left over stored away but haven't worn one for ages. Even managed to forget mine when I went for my booster but didn't matter only a few people were wearing them.
No vacination card issued but did receive a leaflet about the type it was. App updated with booster.

I do not wear a mask, but have one in every coat pocket and every handbag - just in case -. The rest, like Teacheranne's are tucked in a drawer in the bedroom.

That's good Casdon. Thank you. Does it actually say "modified" on your card? I suppose, logically, it should do.

My next one is this week and I couldn't find anyone who knew about it.
I was intending to ask when I got there.

I'm sorry to say I'm still using mine if I'm going to be in a crowd. They are FFP2/FFP3 and N95.

There are papers out now explaining that damage is cumulative with repeated infections. I don't want covid as I think I had it in the February before it was "a thing".

Also, the USA has reworked their Moderna booster vaccines to take account of newer variants - no one seems to know if ours are using the same ones - so I'm not overly trusing of that... I read that Pfizer had also modified theirs but again, are we using an unmodified version?
I don't know. Maybe some other gran/grandad does?

The modified Pfizer which covers Omicron is being given in the UK. I know because I asked the nurse when I had my booster - you can tell from your vaccination card if you want to check.

Still use a mask on crowded buses, never stopped.

Vaccination-wise we were told it was the adapted version of Moderna. Why not ask your surgery notspaghetti as your records should show which vaccine you were given, no matter where it was done.

I understand that the Astra Zenica hasn't been modified as yet - and so isn't as effective with newer strains V3ea.

The nurse that gave me my Moderna booster (American) in November said it had been modified to cover the new variants.
It still triggered a nasty outbreak of eczema as did the Pfizer booster (American) last year. I'd only just got that under control ☹️

I'd had no reaction to the first two vaccinations, Astra Zeneca (British).

I asked if I could have Astra Zeneca this year and was told it's being used worldwide for people who haven't had any doses yet.

I don’t have any disposables left. But, I did find my pretty pink washable one in the door- compartment of my car. Actually I must take it out and give it a good wash. I may need it for the next Covid outbreak (hope not!) 😂
