We're all eligible for Covid vaccines again
I checked the CDC wastewater trends, like you do, and it says Covid transmission is high across the country, and especially high in California.
So I checked the Alameda County wastewater site, which says, "The CDC recommends that EVERYONE ages 6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine at least 2 months after their last dose."
It's been close to a year since my last one, so I tried to schedule in a couple of places, but wasn't finding a Moderna vaccine. I've been on Team Moderna the whole time, and it doesn't feel right to switch now. I found vaccines.gov where I could select which kind of vaccine I want, which claims that my nearby Safeway has both Moderna vaccines and appointments, so I'll be walking over there on Monday afternoon.
It would have been better to get vaccinated a couple of weeks ago, but the second-best time is now.

rosefox warned, not only are they out of vaccine, but they don't acknowledge the change in CDC guidance. *sigh*

Thanks for sharing this info. Time to see if I can get the family vaccinated again. I have a doctor's appointment next week...maybe they can slip me a shot while I'm there.

I had a checkup 2 weeks ago, and not only did the doctor not offer me a booster, I had to remind her to pull her (surgical) mask back up. She said, "Oh, it's safe, I had covid three weeks ago." D: I muttered something about it not being so safe for the people she saw right before she tested positive (not to mention her assistant and office staff, who were completely unmasked), but she didn't understand and I let it go in the interests of continuing to get care.

Oh no, what an inconsiderate nightmare. How does she think she got covid in the first place?

When I asked her to pull her mask back up, she said it's hard to breathe (!) and I said kindly, "Yes, I understand how hard it is to wear a mask all the time in a public-facing job."
I'm enjoying your very expressive icon!

Sometimes all you can do is (cartoon) swear.
