COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses are expected to make a resurgence in the fall when schools reopen across Canada, experts are warning.

There will likely be a gen pop booster for all ages in the fall to coincide with the influenza campaign.

Kinda hoping it’s a combined shot or something. It’ll make it easier to do as long as the side effects aren’t any more severe, and most people will just forget to do one after doing the other otherwise.

I already have a hard enough time remembering to get the flu shot, so being asked to come again in a week to get the other is a sure way for me to forget one, if not both shots.

Wait, why? I got a booster like a year ago. It can’t be a supply issue.

It’s also been over a year since I’ve had a shot but just like the flu shot, it recommended that you get a booster every six months.

We’ve got our boosters scheduled for the week before school starts up. im-doing-my-part

We won’t be making the kids mask up again this year, though. Not because they don’t need to (they do), but because they’re old enough that bullying includes violence. Especially for a trans teenager.

Living in Hellworld is awesome! agony-deep

Kids will probably be bullied for wearing the masks now btw.

Yep. That’s what I said. You must have misread my comment. We’re on the same page.

Woops my bad, the starship trooper didn’t load lmao

All good. I always try to assume good faith posting until proven otherwise. heart-sickle
