I'm putting my Jan/Feb 2020 infection, three 2021 OG Moderna shots, and June 2022 Omicron infection to the test in a major way within the next week and a half. Three or four concerts in seven days. I got through my first post-pandemic indoor venue show with flying colors in February, but this is a whole 'nother level of time spent in crowded indoor spaces. Two shows in a 3,500 capacity ballroom, one in a small club, and maybe an arena show, too.
Psychologically, I'm dealing much better with being around unmasked people in indoor spaces lately than I have been since the start of the pandemic. Sure, I'll still get up and move on a bus or subway car if there's plenty of available room and an unmasked person still chooses to sit close by, but I no longer feel that flight-or-fight response when unmasked people are nearby. I just keep wearing a tight-fitting N95 and hoping for the best.
I doubt that I'll be attending this many indoor shows in one week at any other time this year, since so much of what's already on my calendar and likely to be announced for later this year will be at outdoor venues (and three festivals, if Re:SET counts as a festival.)

I too am reaching the point where I have way too many upcoming events I’m interested in to really reliably believe I can avoid another Covid infection much longer (concerts, friends birthdays, social outings, more frequent in office work). Hopefully the 3 doses + 1 omicron infection can help me hold up. I need to get the 4th dose, I’ve just been putting it off because as dumb and illogical as it is, I wasn’t mentally prepared to have 2 days of being super sick on purpose (Oct-Jan was a really tough time for me mentally). Need to just bite the bullet this weekend and get it.

If it helps, the only people I know who really had a bad time with the 4th shot were the people who also got the flu shot at the same time.

I'd love to get the fourth shot, especially at my age, but I had 2-3 weeks of irregular heartbeat, tightness in my chest, and a few moments of chest pain after my 3rd Moderna shot, so I'm waiting for Covaxin to be approved in the U.S. I discussed this with my primary care physician months later when I went in for a check-up, and he said that it sounded like myocarditis or pericarditis. This is very infrequent in people over 40, so I was a real outlier.
I'd still encourage anyone to get an mRNA vaccination, absent a serious reaction happening to you personally. There's nothing more obnoxious than someone who individually had a problem with a particular food or prescription medicine or recreational intoxicant or extreme sport or whatever saying "I had this really bad experience with _________, therefore no one should ever do this."
I have to take comfort in Monica Gandhi's recent tweet, referencing a study which shows that 99.99% of the U.S. population has COVID antibodies, and hope that the combination of three Moderna shots and natural infection provides me with ample protection. (I can't help wondering if I'm being overconcerned. People go to concerts and movies and dine in restaurants every day, in ways that they weren't a year or two ago, yet COVID numbers are way down. We didn't get the winter spike which we saw in the last two years. It seems like things played out comparatively well for us. The dominant family of variants, Omicron, basically kicked every other variant to the curb and was both less virulent than previous variants and far more contagious, leading to something closer to herd immunity, between vaccination and natural infection.)

If it helps ease your mind at all, I've been attending indoor shows fairly regularly since they came back (not as often as pre-pandemic, but I'm certainly not being shy about it), wearing an N95 every time, and I've yet (knock on wood) to get sick from any of them. This includes attending three LCD Soundsystem shows at Brooklyn Steel in December of 2021 when Omicron was going nuts in NYC and a bunch of shows in the past six months at which I've been one of only a few people masked. I'm sure at least part of that is luck, but also...masks work, particularly N95s that are properly fitted.
Well, this doesn't seem like particularly great news. Apparently, the CD8+ T cell response to vaccination is weakened by infection. People who were vaccinated before ever being infected fared the best in this NIH-funded study, followed next by people who had been infected and then vaccinated, with the unvaccinated coming in last in strength of CD8+ T call response.
Some epidemiologists had touted hybrid super-immunity due to both infection and vaccination, regardless of order, as providing the strongest protection, but that may not be the case.

I was masked at all indoor shows in 2022, but felt that the calendar turning to 2023 was reason to let my guard down for some reason. Made it exactly 2 unmasked shows in 2023 to get sick (Flaming Lips to be specific). Not covid, but a nasty cold that was absolutely worse than the time I actually caught covid. I have recovered now, but I fully deserved it, and it's a sobering reminder that masks aren't just a covid guard - they're useful to block out all the nasty germs out there.

I've been increasingly more careless now that everyone in our family is vaccinated and am baffled how I haven't gotten covid yet. Basically just jinxed myself.

There's a cold strain that's been going on since January that's kicked my ass and a lot of people I know.

Yeah I had RSV bad, had to do a round of steriods to kick it in January. I am still getting over some allergy congestion shit from the weather change, seasonal allergy shit right now again.
So, I'm traveling internationally in a few months. I vaxed and got a booster when eligible but wiffed on the second booster.
I got COVID a few months ago but wondering the general consensus if it's worth it to booster up before I go or nah you're good?
Your dr would be the best person to ask but fwiw, our dr said recently that if we've had the bivalent booster, there's not really a need for another shot now.

My sister told me last weekend that they are saying now that if you’ve had the vax and booster and you’ve been infected, you have decent protection for like a year. She’s an NP, and is currently a school nurse, so I would hope her information is good, but also don’t blame me if she’s wrong.

lol this is good to hear as I’m coming up on allergy season less than a year since my Covid but also having procrastinated on the 4th dose. Is it Covid or allergies is on my mind at least half a dozen times a day unfortunately, this pandemic was basically tailor made to ruin the lives of people with ocd
