I don’t know, I’m due to see my MT soon so I’ll ask him. I know I’ll get my flu prescription sometime in October, just dont want to go overkill with a Covid jab as well, as I had Covid in July. If that makes sense.

It's recommended to leave 3 months between infection and having a booster. The antibodies in the system after that time will vary according to each individual - the 3 months delay is taken as an average.

Assurance maladie say 6 months after infection.

The latest recommendation from the government (DGS) is 3 months for those suffering from an immunodeficiency, though for others I think it's 6 months.
That said, it depends on the "vulnerability" of the individual.

This morning in our local super market, back again.

But no masks required?

RobertArthur · #138 Post by **RobertArthur** » Wed Sep 27, 2023 6:14 pm

Not yet, about one in a hundred customers so far with a mask. Probably the most vulnerable.

OH has just tested positive

He's been complaining of a sore throat for a few days and for the last 2 days has had severe cold symptoms. I took him to see the doc this afternoon about something unrelated and she decided to test him. We were all wearing masks. Apparently someone came in this morning complaining of covid symptoms and wasn't wearing a mask.
So I guess I have to wait and see whether I get it or not. The incubation period varies and we have no idea where he caught it.

Sorry Blaze. Hope your OH recovers soon. It seems it is here to stay.
