Here's hoping 2023 brings us all health and happiness, adventure and contentment. Also, hopefully this is the year COVID reaches its end goal of being an omnipresent mild annoyance like its cousins.
Get your shots and be excellent to each other. Or to put it more succinctly...
If you've recently been infected, the CDC recommends waiting three months.
Hey, Portlandeers.
Love to see the part about , "As of Sept. 12 there were 216 COVID-positive patients in Oregon hospitals, according to state data — a 73% increase from just two months ago."
The important part:
CVS and Walgreens expect to have the updated shots available at all pharmacies as early as today.
OHA directed all vaccine providers to dispose of any leftover bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in storage to make room for the new, updated boosters.
Of note: Most people with private insurance and those enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid should be able to get the new shots at no-cost.
People who are uninsured or underinsured can get free COVID-19 vaccines at participating pharmacies through a government assistance program and at local public health centers.
Oregon's Vaccine Access Program provides free shots to eligible adults and children.
Yes, but: The federal government is no longer fully covering the vaccine, so experts say it could be tougher for people without insurance to get the shots for free
I had a bad time these past few years,
lost some friends
and I shed some tears
I can't cope when things get messed up,
I try to move on
but I always get stuck
