medications, including Vitamin C, cod liver oil, and the inhaled steroid budesonide
So glad to see we are using cod liver oil instead of those dangerous vaccines! /s

Got a source on that? My info came direct from my doctor, not that it wouldn’t be the first time a doctor gave inaccurate or outdated info, but it still carries more weight for me over a random person online

Edit: I get why your doctor would recommend that though. While vaccine records are nice and tidy now in epic EMRs preserved for many years to come for those of us born in the 80s and 90s records are mostly on paper (and at this point likely destroyed). So if you’re over 30 but under 50ish and in that window where you would’ve gotten the good vaccine but not had it documented well it may be easier to just get it again to be sure. This is a bit lazy though as immunity status can be verified with a titer test. However, this may not be economical, I assume the cost of the vaccine is much cheaper for most people with things like high deductible health plans or those who are uninsured
Doesn’t this mean there isn’t a need for a new dose for low-risk adults? Or does an outbreak mean everyone is no longer low-risk?
I would say, if you’re in a state it hasn’t reached yet, see about getting a titer test. You have time to wait for results and get the booster if needed. That’s my plan. I have a feeling I may have gotten a booster when I was trying to get pregnant, but it was so long ago the kid’s an adult.
Thanks, I read through it and it makes sense now, though I’m not sure how much we can trust CDC info currently, but it doesn’t look like it’s been modified (yet) to be crazy
I’m def in that window, so that’s probably why that or the whole “unless there’s an outbreak” part, which is why I asked him about it in the first place lmao
