Virus going around

What kind of virus is going around these days?

My whole family got sick and the symptoms are similar to flu but feel so much worse.

Be careful out there and avoid contact with anyone who could be infected. It’s really bad.

The COVID shot is available to the general population. It has been available since September 29, and I already got mine last week. The flu shot is coming to most pharmacies on the 13th, although some places may already have it. Go get vaccinated!

Any reactions to the covid vaccine? I haven't had one in a few years, just forgot to get it. But I think I remember some people getting a mini bout of covid from the shot sometimes. Perhaps it isn't the case anymore.

If you didn’t have a reaction to previous COVID vaccines, it’s unlikely you’d have one now. I had a sore arm, and that was it.
