XBB1.5 COVID Vaccines

Lfatkoala on 11/10/2023 - 19:19

I was curious if anyone knows where to get one of the latest XBB1.5 monovalent vaccines in Sydney?

We are about to head overseas and want to get the latest vaccine for protection.

Please delete if this post should not be here. Thanks.

Is XBB1.5 = Omicron?

  It is a sub-strain. More infectious.
  
  Anyone know why it is so bad in NSW right now? Still 600 in hospital, and flat. Around 80 deaths since end Aug, but zero in WA.

It's so prevalent i wouldn't worry, just get whatever Australia is offering.

It's mutated so many times it's pretty much just like the flu now. (Early strains not so much)

Surprised you'd want to risk leaving the country or even your home with Covid still being so dangerous

Would you like myocarditis or a pericardial effusion with that?
