Fourth Covid Vax A No Brainer

Michael from Trentham

Covid on a giant upswing had been predicted some months ago and it has come to bite us here in Aotearoa. But only a little in most cases if everyone adheres to the common good.

Omicron and its latest variant BA5 is quite rampant and easily catchable.

A fourth vaccination jab to deflect at least the worse of Covid for each individual person is now becoming available in NZ.
So get the second booster when you are able even if it means going out of your way.

And the mask thing is becoming even more critical not less even though the mask is being disregarded a lot more just lately. Most people are tricking society in wearing or not wearing a mask. The tricks are - wearing masks that are rendered largely useless, and people fending off wearing one by implying a legit exemption. "Met" a few of these at a local supermarket a few days ago.

The spike in people contracting Covid, those being hospitalised and those succumbing is also mixed in with people contracting influenza and a person getting Covid and the flu or a heavy cold can finish with severe results.

So the flu vaccination is of course very important and is free to a large section of our population.

Some people will be getting the Covid virus for a third time. There is no known limit.

It was also predicted that everyone in NZ will eventually get Covid. And it could very well be that right now some 4 million out of a population of 5.2 million currently have or have had the disease.
