Vaccinations

The standard disclaimers, I do not own Captain Scarlet, either the Original Series, or The New Adventures Series. (Although I do own copies on DVD.)

Once again, we stand at the start of flu season, and I’m desperately trying to work up the courage to vaccinated. (Give me another delivery system, and I’ll take it happily, just don’t come at me with the cursed pointy objects.)

A small group of Sickbay staff had taken over the largest table in the commissary. This was not a rare occurrence. After the Angels, Sickbay had the highest compliment of female personnel, and there was a tendency for male of all ranks, to seek out their company.

A commissary table claimed by sickbay was often augmented by all ranks, especially if Doctor Fawn was in attendance. The lower ranks all clamoured for a chance to rub shoulders with the Colour Coded staff, and Dr Fawn was by far the most approachable. That the Angels, other Colour officers, and even Colonel White might join the table was an added bonus.

It didn’t take long for the extra chairs, and nearby tables, to be filled by representatives of all departments and ranks, and good natured interdepartmental rivalry was the order of the day.

That Fawn had declared in favour of housekeeping over engineering, declaring engineering couldn’t penalise him without endangering themselves, but housekeeping could make his life absolutely miserable, was controversial, and was still being energetically debated when Nurse Jacaranda arrived.

Fawn stood, snapping back to ‘business mode’ as Spectrum’s Head of Nursing Services, reported that the latest round of flu vaccines had been received and stored, all correct; the resulting groans and catcalls from non-medical staff elicited groans from the nurses and orderlies in attendance.

Fawn smirked briefly, and focused on the long, thin cardboard tube Jacaranda carried. “Taking your post for a walk, Jackie?”

“No, delivering yours.” It was dumped unceremoniously into Fawn’s arms, before she headed off towards the food line.

Fawn examined the label, his face lighting up. “Oh, good. I’ve been waiting for this to arrive!”

Seizing a steak knife, he cut the thick layer of tape at one end, and levered off the cap. A couple of stray packing peanuts escaped as Fawn carefully extracted a long wooden object, sealed in a plastic bag.

“What’s that, Doc, a walking stick?” someone asked.

Fawn grinned. “Nope.” He slid the object out of the bag, and snagging a packing peanut squeezed it to a small tight ball, and poked it into one end of the object. Then, bringing it up to his face, took a deep breath and blew.

The packing peanut flew and scored a solid hit on the speaker, right between the eyes. He flinched back and everyone stared at the projectile, where it lay innocently in his leftover gravy.

“Gen-u-ine blowpipe, given to me by an obscure tribe of Amazonians, who still live a mostly traditional lifestyle,” Fawn grinned, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Oblivious to the shock of his audience, Fawn carefully repackaged the blowpipe in its travel arrangement. As he stood from retrieving the stray packing, someone carefully asked, “That was a fluke, right? You’re not really that good a shot with it.”

“Aren’t I?” Fawn smirked. “Oh well, we may find out soon enough.” The grin intensified. “Anyway, I’ll be seeing all of you soon. Flu vaccinations!”

He all but skipped out of the door.

Silence reigned.

Eventually a young engineering tech asked, nervously, “He wouldn’t, I mean, he can’t … use that on people … Can he?”

A senior Lieutenant from security shook his head. “Either way, I’m not risking finding out.” He stood. “I’ll make sure I arrive early for my vaccination, this year,” he said over his shoulder as he left.

A murmur of agreement ran along the table.

A type of flu virus that used to sicken people every year hasn't been spotted anywhere on Earth since March 2020. As such, experts have advised that the apparently extinct viruses be removed from next year's flu vaccines. The now-extinct viruses were a branch of the influenza B family tree known as the Yamagata lineage. Scientists first reported the apparent disappearance of Yamagata viruses in 2021. At that time, experts speculated that precautions taken to stop the spread of COVID-19 — such as masking and social distancing — had not only driven the overall number of flu cases to historic lows but may have completely snuffed out this type of flu virus.

Can the flu vaccine help keep older minds sharp?

Can the flu vaccine help keep older minds sharp?

June 30, 2022 – For older adults, getting the annual flu shot may do more than protect against the flu. It may also reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. In a large study of vaccinated and unvaccinated adults ages 65 and older, those who received at least one flu vaccine were less likely than unvaccinated peers to get Alzheimer’s disease over the course of 4 years. But it’s not one and…

klances are so ahistorical. "it was the top ship on the internet for 3 year i've never seen anything like it" well then do your destiel research. i know fandom university isnt real because if it was you would know your HERSTORY about how she's historically placed in year in review lists. you would know the first year they tabulated ships in 2014 and destiel was number one. you would know their weighted end of year average over EIGHT YEARS is like 7 or 8 because they have neverrrrr placed below the bottom twenty. and are top ten more often than not. and number 1 several times. destiel is destiel forever has stayed at the top of the list for NINE! YEARS! this year. the YEAR voltron stopped airing klance dropped 18 spaces. the year after that it dropped ANOTHER 19. the year it premiered it was #6 to destiel's #4.

#I have a job btw . i got combo flu and covid vaccinated a little over 24 hours as a second btw. so be nice to me please #etxt

It's flu season again so please go get the annual flu vaccine. Flu is not just a bad cold and can lead to serious illness whether you're immunocompromised or not.

Flu vaccines are generally available from your doctor or pharmacy and depending on your personal circumstances you might be eligible for a free dose. If you have to pay like I did, in ireland it's 30-35 euros max and well worth it.

I have had the actual honest to god influenza once in my life. It was absolutely miserable.

Also, ask about covid boosters as well. I'm not in one of the prioritised groups, but I enquired at the pharmacy anyway (explaining that I live with my elderly parents) and they were able to accomodate me as they had a sufficient supply. Covid has not gone away and everything new we find out about it's effects on the human immune system is horrifying.

#psa #pls reblog because I found out today that there are people unaware that the flu vaccine exists #help them be part of today's lucky 10000 #please vaccinate #the flu is not as harmless as your exploitative employer would have you believe

(this is purely anecdotal and should be noted people misclick or lie on polls all the time and does not serve to imply the results are accurate. the reality is there is a small chance of severe symptoms from covid vaccination that is much smaller than that of long covid, and it is even smaller if you've not had long term effects already from previous vaccination. op supports vaccination for those who can tolerate it and treats the covid pandemic seriously as well as people harmed by covid vaccination and long covid and loved one's lost from covid)

also if you do have any long term effects would love to discuss about it!

#i'm assuming most people had short term symptoms #also for no symptoms i obviously don't mean like. site soreness or pain. that's like. what happens when you get stabbed with a vaccine #i mean like. flu symptoms. fever. etc. but you can take it whatever way you want. most people i know had short term symptoms for like. #a couple days up to a couple weeks it seems #covid #incoherents

PSA: Please get the updated bivalent covid shot and the flu shot!

In the US, only 12.5% of people over 5 have gotten the new covid vaccine which protects against omicron. If you remember from 2020 and 2021, winter will bring likely surge of cases. The more people who are vaccinated, the less severe cases and deaths, and the less likely our already overwhelmed healthcare system is to get completely swamped. If you haven't already, please go get the vaccine and protect yourself and community.

Also, get your flu shot! Flu cases are already looking to be very high this year (about 18.1% positive testing rate as of November 28th, as opposed 3.6% from a normal year, as listed in the Vox article). Flu can always be a serious illness, but it's especially important this year to get vaccinated.

There are people who can't get vaccinated and they are often the people most at risk of serious illness from both covid and the flu. Please help lower their risk by getting vaccinated.

Literally everyone but me in the office is some sort of sick. They say oh I need the money or I don't want to use up my sick days or its not that bad *cough hack sniff*. And then they refuse to at the very least wear a mask. Like no wonder everyone is getting sick!!!
