Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

[zac's mum]

There is a flu bug going around primary and secondary schools, characterized by high fever and flu symptoms (non-Covid).


DS caught it shortly after the CNY break. Heard other secondary schools having the flu bug now, in the midst of their Term 1 WAs.

Better load up on the vits and boost immunity.

Yea mine caught the flu, and forgotten about the mini test.

[MrsKiasu]

But dd no fever, have blocked nose and some phlegm and abit of sore throat that scared die me. I kept asking if she even know what is a sore throat. At the end, I just asked if that is something never had never experienced before…then do test lor.

I hv been having raspy throat too. It’s most irritating esp nightime. Disturbs my sleep. Kept doing ART almost weekly but not C+. I’m more inclined to think either the vaccine booster my system or that covid had weaken or interrelated.

Actually we can take the next booster five (5) months after the last dose.[/quote]

The 5 months is \"can take if you want\"; the 1 yr is \"recommended to take\".

Now only bivalent jab? Anymore P or M?

You have taken how many times already?

I believe Singapore is recommending the bivalent jab as adult boosters from now on. Not sure if the non-bivalent ones will still be available.

I have take 4 jabs so far, but the last one was in Sep, before the bivalent vaccine was released. I will probably get another one later this year if I decide to travel. If I stay within Singapore, I'll wait till closer to Sep before deciding.

[MrsKiasu]

Yea that’s a not bad idea too…we are not travelling next few months so we will probably wait and see first.

As for stroke patients, it is better to take after 5 or 6 months from the last dose in order to protect them.

3. You have advised us to take vaccination fast in your post yesterday and today you told us that you are going to drag on, I don't understand...... :?[/quote]

I am for vaccination, but I want to drag the interval for as long as I can, to maximize coverage lah. If I take the shot now, it would have expired when I start teaching again in September. You think the government will continue to give free shots? Don't count on it.
