But GG might have suffered the same symptoms without the vaccine. GG doesn't know and will never know. And GG was vaccinated with the latest mix 3 weeks before.
GG is a bit sniffly today on day 6 but otherwise recovered and has been out of the apartment wearing a mask to collect a dog from the upper floor. The owners could not find an alternative minder and according to the Vic Health guidelines, GG can move about a bit now while being cautious not to spread what still remains of the plague. I will do a RAT test later, but a negative test is not a requirement on the Vic Health site to leave isolation. Loss of symptoms and 5 days isolation is all that's requested of sufferers.
In many ways, covid is preferable to the flu. There has been little in the way of coughing, though had a runny nose and sneezing. The flu or a cold would linger for weeks, even months after in the form of a hacking cough.
Not "full" protection, just stronger.It takes 7 to 14 days after a booster dose before you get stronger protection.
