Last week's thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

Something interesting that happened to you
Something humourous that happened to you
Something frustrating that happened to you
A quick question
A request for recommendations
Pictures of your pet
A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I finally did it! I got around to getting a COVID jab and so am now ready for the winter, when my body will teach me there are plenty of other ways to get sick.

Was going to get mine this week too, but then I got sick (just a cold I think). So it'll have to wait for a bit longer. Heaps of bugs going around at the moment.

[–] Dave 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have had a couple of colds over the last couple of months. It's just endless when you've got kids bringing home bugs. I've luckily been healthy enough to get this jab, and got my flu one a month back between colds.

How many Covid jabs have you had? I’ve had 6 and I see there’s a 7’th available now

[–] Dave 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hmm I was a bit slack for a bit there. I think maybe 4? Or it might be 5. I think the original one was two shots? Then a third not that long after, I think it was at the 6 month mark. So yeah, probably one other one in the middle plus the one the other day makes 5. Not really keeping track though.

I have an app/web link to Manage My Health. All of my medical things, like prescriptions, vaccinations, blood test results, and doctor visit reports are logged, and are available on-line. I can see when each of my Covid vaccines were given.

I may be wrongly assuming everyone in NZ has online access to their medical info, idk.

[–] Dave 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I didn't think to check, but I have Manage My Health as well. But I think there's stuff missing. My original COVID vaccinations from the vaccination centres show up, but nothing since. Not even flu vaccinations. Weird.

[–] FloofahNZ 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I had my flu/covid booster on 11 April this year. It’s only appeared on MMH very recently. I have to say MMH, both the web based and app, isn’t that good imo, especially the iPad app.

I can see those vaccination records were added by a nurse at our GP, even though they were done at a vacc centre.

[–] Dave 2 points 5 months ago

Might be my doctor being slack. But yeah MMH can be very confusing to find what you want. I reckon it used to be worse, though.
