The only thing I've read regarding reduced immunity was the European regulators questioning if too frequent boosters would make the response to the vaccines less effective. Basically trying to determine best spacing between boosters to maximize thier effectiveness.

Some German maniac got vaccinated 217 times with 8 different vaccines. Results of studying him:

Researchers at FAU find no negative effects on immune system

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen have examined a man who has received more than 200 vaccinations against Covid-19. They learned of his case via newspaper reports. Until now, it has been unclear what effects hypervaccination such as this would have on the immune system. Some scientists were of the opinion that immune cells would become less effective after becoming used to the antigens. This proved not to be the case in the individual in question: his immune system is fully functional. Certain immune cells and antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are even present in considerably higher concentrations than is the case with people who have only received three vaccinations.

,,,

Immune system remains active against other pathogens

Further tests indicated that there was no change to the immune system’s effectiveness against other pathogens. It therefore appears to be the case that the hypervaccination has not damaged the immune system as such. “Our test case was vaccinated with a total of eight different vaccines, including different available mRNA vaccines,” stated Dr. Kilian Schober. “The observation that no noticeable side effects were triggered in spite of this extraordinary hypervaccination indicates that the drugs have a good degree of tolerability.”

However, this is one individual case. The results are not sufficient for making far-reaching conclusions let alone recommendations for the general public. “Current research indicates that a three dose vaccination, coupled with regular top-up vaccines for vulnerable groups, remains the favored approach. There is no indication that more vaccines are required.”

 

Likely does not hurt immune response to get vaccinated very frequently and likely each one gives a very small incremental increase in effectiveness.  But was just one guy. Who wants to volunteer for 200 more Covid vaccinations?

We got both the flu & Covid (Pfizer) shots Wednesday at CVS. One in each arm. 
Had a little bit of soreness in each shoulder Thursday and a slight headache along with general low level aching all over. 
But that was all gone by this morning.

All our other 4 vaccinations (Moderna) had no side effect aching or headaches.

The shingles shots made my shoulder pretty sore for a coiple of days.

Did the triple on Wednesday. Covid, flu & shingles (hit 50 this year). Covid & flu on the left, shingles on the right. Covid and flu were not bad. But shingles hurt the moment the needle hit. I was wiped Thursday but not bad yesterday. My shingles shot is still a touch sore today.

Trust Covid to bring out the stupid.  It’s a virus just like the flu now, feel free to catch it and get fucked up or take a shot to mitigate the symptoms.  What the fuck ever.  It’s become a simple IQ test for me.  Anyone who is scared of immunization is too dumb to engage with.

It’s not just the flu I know you know that but my PSA: vaxxed and boosted didn’t get vaxxed again was waiting for the update this fall before going to Italy. Thought I would out smart it ended up getting it in Colorado - all we did was hang out doors - but my son brought it on a plane flight. BAM … 10 weeks of severe untreatable asthma like symptoms, severe shortness of breath, chest tightness that would cripple any of you - it did me, chronic insomnia and debilitating anxiety. I’m really close to being through it all SIXTEEN FUCKING WEEKS LATER. I’ve been on prednisone for 30 days, Xanax for almost 60, I had two stellate ganglion blocks (miracle treatment) and have started intense restorative trauma therapy and ketamine therapy along side it. Not only was Covid bad, post covid was awful and withdrawals from prednisone and Xanax presented some of the exact same symptoms - insomnia, debilitating chest pain and severe anxiety. My life shrunk to focusing on a perfect diet, trying to get some exercise, stealing 15 minutes of sleep when I could and work. Nothing more since July. Nothing flu like about if your health roulette wheel lands on red. It’s a gamble to underestimate this virus. In fact our media has done a terrible job, there’s millions of Americans disabled from long COVID. It’s an incredibly debilitating condition. Thankfully I’ve been getting better and I think I’ll be ok but holy fuck.

I got jabs for COVID and flu on Friday.  It had been about a year since my last ones.  All of my COVID shots have been Moderna, and this is my second year of adding the flu vaccine to my annual routine.  I had some symptomatic reactions (body aches, nightmares, fatigue) that began roughly 6 hours after getting vaccinated and lasting about 24.  I slept fine the second night, and everything was completely back to normal by the next morning.  My reaction seemed slightly worse than all but the first dose of COVID vaccine years ago, but not unexpected.

pharmacist told me that Louisiana is one of the states that will require a doctors prescription to get a Covid vaccine (unless you are an old or an asthmatic, etc.)

Yep, my wife got shingles brought on by the stress of her father passing. She was only 40, and it made her miserable. I am just over the olds threshold but when my PCP recommended earlier this year that I get the vaccine, I rolled up my sleeve and said “just do it now.”  Felt like I had the flu for a few days after the first—and then everyone told me that I would likely have a reduced reaction to the second one. Well, got the second one about a month ago, and zonked out again for a couple of days.

I haven’t agreed to shingles vax yet. My younger brother claims his shingles vax resulted n tinnitus. He had suffered through shingles once, though, while I have not. Probably will get one, and will probably learn what a vaccine kicking one’s ass is all about as I’ve never had ill effects from any vaccine.

This is kinda important: did your brother get Zostavax or Shingrix?  If he got it 2020 or before he got the former.  Zostavax used the live shingles virus in the vaccine and Shingrix  didn’t.    Zostavax was no bueno.  I represented a bunch of Zostavax clients at my former firm who came down with shingles after getting the vaccine.   

I got my first shingrix shot Friday evening (because we had a three day weekend to recover).  I felt a little tired yesterday, but it was not as bad as I feared.   Then again, I have not had a problem with any Covid or flu shot ever.   The injection site and my left shoulder are still sore as hell though.

It is not worth pursuing, unfortunately. Tinnitus is a recognized secondary complication to shingles and chickenpox. The live virus in Zostavax could cause shingles, so you think you could link the two.   Unfortunately, the federal Multi District Litigation (MDL) judge issued what is called a “Lone Pine Order” saying that plaintiffs must produce evidence that they took a PCR Test (Polymerase Chain Reaction) - which is able to differentiate between naturally occurring shingles and vaccine induced shingles. 

Since the manufacturer never warned about this connection (vaccine, causing the very thing it was supposed to prevent), there was literally no reason for anyone to take a PCR test at the time they discovered they had problems.

If you did not have those contemporaneous PCR test results when you first had a problem, you could not make a claim, or if you had made a claim, it was dismissed.  so there is no federal litigation ongoing, and if you filed in federal court, you would be dismissed quickly and very likely sanctioned.   

It’s been a few years since I looked at it, and there were some individual state litigations ongoing, but it is hardly worth researching.

Which sucks.  Thanks big pharma.

I have the shingles vaccine in my near future. Have heard they’re not pleasant, second being worse than first, I think?

Had chicken pox as a kid and sounds like shingles is the SUCK. But the Covid vaccine made me very ill the two times I got it. Like I was down for 48 hours sick. Hated it.

That was my experience w/ the shingles vax 2 years ago (first dose kinda suck; second had me doing the fever/chills/full body ache for about 12 hours).

I got my flu and TDAP vax this morning. Tried to get the new COVID-19 vax but no dice due to insurance coding issues. The tech at CVS was very helpful and spent a good 10 minutes trying to get things worked out but no dice. She even called me after we'd left to tell me to try checking in again next Thu or Fri to see if the coding issues are fixed. The pharmacist who gave me my 2 shots told me they just received boxes of the new C19 vax yesterday and they're just taking up space in storage now.

What do Surly peeps say about the 2nd versus the first - same as GOTJ?

Whatever you do, make sure you get the 2nd. A buddy of mine got a rough case of shingles late last winter. It was right after he'd retired and was dealing w/ trying to get Medicaid. He got the first shot for Shingles in 2019 when he was 62. Then the pandemic hit and he just forgot to go back and get the second one. That decision came back to bite him in the ass big time.

I’m torn. My wife got shingles and described it as hell. Still has weird symptoms years later. But I never had chickenpox. I’m supposedly a 2%’r. I think my primary care Dr did a blood test to confirm it. He said I don’t need to take the vaccine. Maybe I need to confirm negative titers, to make sure he knew his stuff. I also have severe tinnitus and hearing loss in one ear, so that makes me even more cautious about getting it.

I am not a scientist, but working on the litigation against Zostavax, we naturally compared it to Shingrix.    I was in my mid 60s and a perfect candidate for the vaccine, but knowing what I knew about it, I always told my doctors I would not take the Zostavax shingles vaccine.    And knowing what I know about Shingrix, I just took it.  So don’t rely on me, but do not NOT take it based upon the negative side effects of a completely different vaccine that is no longer given.

Shingrix should not affect your hearing Dbeasy.  Another case of shingles and your hearing could be worse.   Feel free not to take it, but do not refuse taking it for that reason. Science and junk.

My understanding is there’s a pretty low chance you will ever contract wild type chickenpox, because school-age children and younger are well vaccinated. However, given the new climate, this may not remain the same going forward. I think the protocol would be for you to get the regular old Chickenpox vaccine, which is a live attenuated virus and then later on get the newer two dose shingles vaccine because apparently there is a rare incidence of the chickenpox vaccine, giving you the chickenpox, which means theoretically you could get shingles later on.

Back to covid: anybody know if pharmacies are giving the covid vax on demand?

Pharmacies are not offering Covid-19 shots in 16 states as unclear guidance from FDA leaves them in limbo

The Independent US
GRAIG GRAZIOSI
Fri, August 29, 2025 at 10:58 PM CDT
 

CVS and Walgreens pharmacies are withholding Covid-19 vaccines in more than a dozen states in response to the ongoing uncertainty about federal vaccine policy.

Amy Thibault, a spokesperson for CVS, said on Thursday that the vaccine is not available in 16 states due to the "current regulatory environment" in the federal government and unclear messaging from the Food and Drug Administration.

On Friday, the company issued an update to her comment, saying that it could administer the vaccines in 13 of the 16 states and the District of Columbia, so long as those seeking the shots had a prescription from a doctor or other medical provider, according to theNew York Times.

In Massachusetts, Nevada, and New Mexico, CVS pharmacies cannot offer the shots to anyone under any circumstances, Thibault said.

Walgreens offered a statement as well, noting that its pharmacists were "prepared to offer the vaccine in states where we are able to do so" so long as recipients meet the newly narrowed FDA criteria determining who qualifies for the shot.

A reporter at the NYT attempted to schedule appointments to get shots in all 50 states and the Walgreens website reportedly said that customers need a prescription in 16 of the states.

While there is some overlap, the NYT reports that there are differences between the states CVS restricts and the states Walgreens restricts.

The uncertainty at the pharmacies is fallout from Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy, Jr's recent insistence on changing vaccine policy. President Donald Trump fired former CDC head Susan Monarez earlier this week after she refused to go along with RFK's policy agenda.

The states where CVS will requiring a prescription for those seeking vaccines are: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia, along with the District of Columbia, according to Thibault.

Walgreens is reportedly requiring prescriptions in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington State, West Virginia and Wisconsin, based on the NYTexperiment.

Covid vaccine use saw a sharp decline after the pandemic. Only 23 percent of adults and 13 percent of children reported getting an updated Covid vaccine last flu season, according to the CDC.

Cold and flu season is around the corner and with it will come another spike in Covid cases. Dr Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, told the NYT it was "really unconscionable" that pharmacies would limit vaccine availability this close to cold and flu season.

He noted that the increasing difficulty of actually acquiring a vaccine is likely going to drive down the number of Americans who take the shots.

“It’s just raising more and more barriers,” the doctor said. “It’s like an obstacle course.”

 

These are the conditions that make you eligible for an

This year’s updated Covid-19 vaccines have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for adults 65 and older and younger people with certain medical conditions that put them at a higher risk of a severe Covid-19 infection.

Although federal officials have emphasized that people who want a Covid-19 vaccine can get one after consulting with a doctor, the narrower approval may limit access to shots for some people who were routinely able to get them in the past.

Here’s what to know about getting an updated Covid-19 vaccine.

Who can get a Covid-19 vaccine?

“FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+). These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors,” US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a post on X this week.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the conditions that put someone at a higher risk of severe Covid-19 include:

  • Asthma

  • Blood cancers

  • Cerebrovascular diseases

  • Chronic kidney disease

  • Some chronic lung diseases

  • Some chronic liver diseases

  • Cystic fibrosis

  • Type 1 and 2 diabetes

  • Gestational diabetes

  • Disabilities, including Down syndrome

  • Heart conditions

  • HIV

  • Mood disorders, including depression and schizophrenia

  • Dementia

  • Parkinson’s disease

  • Obesity

  • Physical inactivity

  • Current or recent pregnancy

  • Primary immunodeficiencies

  • Current or former smoking

  • Solid organ or blood stem cell transplant recipients

  • Tuberculosis

  • Use of immunosuppressive drugs

Most of these conditions can affect the immune system in such a significant way that they would inhibit the body’s ability to fight off a Covid-19 infection, increasing the risk of that infection causing severe illness or death.

These underlying conditions will make an estimated 100 million to 200 million people in the US eligible for a Covid-19 vaccine under the new framework, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad, the director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, wrote in an editorial in May in the New England Journal of Medicine.

When and where will the vaccines be available?

Covid-19 vaccines are expected to be available at many pharmacies and doctor’s offices in the United States this fall.

Both Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna said their updated Covid-19 vaccines are expected to be available in the “coming days.”

Pfizer and BioNTech said that their Covid-19 vaccine this season “will begin shipping immediately and be available in pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics” across the country.

John C. Jacobs, president and CEO of vaccine maker Novavax, said in that company’s news release that it will “work with our partner Sanofi to provide access to a protein-based, non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine for eligible individuals this fall.”

CVS Pharmacy locations expect to receive the updated Covid-19 vaccines in the coming days, spokesperson Amy Thibault said.

“We’ll administer FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines in states where legally permitted at CVS Pharmacy and/or MinuteClinic to meet our patients’ needs,” Thibault said in an email. “Appointments can be scheduled online via CVS.com, through the CVS Health app, or patients can walk into our pharmacies and clinics.”

But CVS is not yet offering Covid-19 vaccinations in some states, even if someone meets the eligibility criteria. The pharmacy chain said that it follows state-level pharmacy regulations and that in some states, pharmacists are forbidden from giving vaccines that are not recommended by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. That group of independent vaccine advisers is scheduled to meet September 18-19.

CVS said Friday that it’s not offering Covid-19 vaccinations in 16 states and Washington, DC, due to the current regulatory environment: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.

In all but three of those states — Massachusetts, Nevada and New Mexico — CVS pharmacies can administer a Covid-19 vaccination, depending on the patient’s age, with an authorized prescriber’s prescription, Thibault said.

Walgreens also said in an email that most of its pharmacies are preparing to offer the Covid-19 vaccine where regulations allow.

“Walgreens is prepared to offer the vaccine in states where we are able to do so. In accordance with FDA approval and state requirements, we will offer the vaccine to all adults ages 65 years and older, as well as to individuals under 65, who are at higher risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, as determined by the CDC,” a spokesperson said in an email Friday.

I got my 5th (maybe 6th?) COVID vaccine in early August. And I’m still alive and well and Covid-free. Just pain at injection site.

 

I got my shringrix shots a few years ago, after my doctor strongly recommended it. The pharmacist who gave me the shot told me in detail about how he learned the hard way what not getting it could be like. I don’t want my privates on fire. All I felt was soreness near the injection site, more evident than a covid vaccine. But I did not feel any other symptoms.

I wonder how much the pharmacist’s wife paid the doctor to tell him that his burning privates was “shingles”.
