I went for my Covid booster shot today

I chatted a little with the nurse who did my intake, and I commented about how upbeat she was.

She explained that when she wasn't doing this, she works in the ICU, and the number of Covid deaths she has to deal with, week after week, really gets her depressed. So it really perks her up to see people coming forward to get vaccinated.

I can only imagine what it must be like to have her job these days. 🙁
I keep hearing horror stories from nurses. I think this pandemic has been a truly traumatic experience for them, on top of their jobs already being very difficult and underpaid as it is

@AmbivalentFriability Yes. Sadly, a number have burned out and quit by now, which only puts more of a strain on hospitals. But I can't say I blame them.

I had a very similar conversation with the gal that gave me one of my vaccinations. I wouldn't want their job but thank goodness they're doing it.

I have a Dr in the family. He says it sucks beyond belief.

@Nudistsue26 Yes, I can imagine it would be really hard on him. 🙁

@DrWatson not just him the whole staff. I don't know how some nurses and Drs can see this COVID and what it's doing and still don't believe in the science

Get mine on Dec 4. Can't wait.

Believe me it's hard enough taking care of patients with difficult medical needs. Taking care of patient who refused out of ignorance to take precautions for themselves is asking much from these people.
It’s really sad coz they’re exhausted from taking all the precautions and saving patients in the hundreds...😐

I’m going for my booster shot this week. Yay! for you...😊✨

I have scheduled my booster, with the full understanding that it will NOT prevent me from getting Covid19 if I am exposed to it. BUT...if such a thing should occur, I hope to live through it.

I will take my booster shot early December. I hope more people think rationally about this!

Which vaccine did you take btw?
