Likely I will anyway but the article is poorly written. “Requred” would be to pass any in-place restrictions to various activities or venues. Currently there are no restrictions in place that require vaccinations. If a wave came along and they decided restrictions were needed in close public settings like public transit as an example, then you might have a problem. |

FYI, being vaccinated or having contracted Covid before does NOT guarantee immunity!
My girlfriend is vulnerable (severe asthma), so has been triple vaccinated, yet she has now had Covid FOUR times :-(
She is always very careful with masking, avoiding contact where possible, washing hands etc, yet sometimes she has to travel to London by train and others are not as careful as she is and just being in their proximity has been enough to infect her.

Was told the other day that with the latest variants you can get Covid again in as little as 2 weeks after a previous infection. Hope your GF has not had serious bouts of it. |

My sister has Lupus and gets a booster every 6 months. Since Lupus has compromised her lungs she can't take a chance with Covid.

Hope your GF has not had serious bouts of it. She's had Long Covid since the first infection, extreme tiredness, brain fog etc and has just been told that it's very possible that she will have some form of that for the rest of her life.
She may be able to improve things somewhat, but she may never be totally rid of it.
That's why I'm being extremely Covid averse, because I like eg surfing and skiing and board gaming amongst other things and if I were to get LC, that would pretty much screw up any hopes of my being able to do them as much as I would like to.

Wife & I both had all 4 shots, but still got hit. Not very serious, more like a bad cold.

I'm the only one in my family who hasn't had it yet.
I still only had two shots.

I have all four shots. My sons, daughter-in-laws, sister all got Covid and they had their shots. It was a mild cold for all of them. And, this is a bit funny, my one son who wasn't feeling good and tested positive for covid, kissed me square on the lips the day before he tested positive. He joked with me that if he has covid I will have it too. But, I never got it. That's what happens when you are strong like bull! LOL

My wife and I just got out fifth shot the other day. We also got a flu shot at the same time. Additionally, my wife got a pneumonia shot. She had double pneumonia about four years ago and was hospitalized for a few days because her lungs contained fluid and her pulse-ox was down to 80%. Ever since then she gets the pneumonia shot every year.

My wife, on the other hand was extremely tired and slept most of last Saturday and Sunday. She even looked pale and had no appetite. She said she will never get multiple shots at the same time again. But, the worst part was I had to make my own dinner on Saturday and Sunday; LOL. |
