Olshansky Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 i went and got another vaccine booster on saturday. (5th one overall, plus i've had it twice). Last vax was in October. Dr said it was ok, and so I figured it'd coudn't hurt. Plus, I still mask on public transport. I have too many things going on between now and glasto to stay in.

I used to think I had an immune system of steel until I worked here. Never had a sick day until I started here and now, blooming loads of em. Not much I can do about quarantining myself unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryclaireyfairy Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Well I wasn't and now I'm wondering if I should! I do always pack a shedload of Lemsip in case of lurgy. Last thing you want to do with the aches and shivers is drag your arse to find the pharmacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCountryGirl Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I have had covid within the last month, so I'm hoping that will be enough to have me covered for the fest - although a friend did helpfully remind me that he once caught it twice within a month, but not much I can really do about that. I work with children and teenagers and they're constantly coming in for appointments with all manner of illnesses - all I can do is stay home the rest of the time, ingest as many vitamins as I can, and hope for the best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm in it either though, if people want to. I doubt even the conspiracy theorists can justify how having 5 doses of the vaccine is more dangerous than having 4.

DeanoL Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I don't think the original post is really about COVID though. It's about not wanting a stinking cold at Glastonbury. Which I emphasise with, if you've been lucky enough to never have that happen, then you probably don't realise what a dampner on the weekend it can be. I've just got over a horrid one so feeling like I'll probably be okay now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___DGH___ Posted June 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Sorry guys, was just a throw away comment, I tend to pick up everything and anything that is going around and as it’s my first Glastonbury want to steer clear! It wasn’t meant to be about Covid or vaccines or anything like that. People have to do what’s right for them. Anyhoo, 15 days to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I've got a slight cold now, glad to be getting it out the way 2 weeks before! Also going to a wedding the Saturday before so no chance of the usual where I do try to spend the weekend before not doing much! Fair to say I was very relieved when the wedding fell that weekend and not a week later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but only because they're not free... If the gov / NHS deemed it to be enough of a threat to provide the tests on the NHS then I'd test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
