Oh...
So that's why I'm having a second dose of Evushield tomorrow. They increased the initial dose a week after my treatment. I didn't recall being told it was a two dose treatment initially.
From Seattle Cancer Care Alliance:

Evusheld

While vaccines play a critical role in keeping you safe, we recognize that some of you may not have a strong response to COVID-19 vaccination. If you meet the eligibility requirements listed below and supply is available, you may be able to receive Evusheld (tixagevimab and cilgavimab), a medication used to prevent COVID-19 infection before you are exposed to the virus.

Evusheld is not used to treat COVID-19 infection or for people with known exposure to COVID-19. Evusheld is not a replacement for COVID-19 vaccination. If you can safely get the COVID-19 vaccine and have not already, we encourage you to do so. If you are not sure if the vaccine is safe for you, please ask your care team.

Who is eligible for Evusheld?

Currently, there is a limited supply of Evusheld available. We are prioritizing our most immunocompromised patients based on National Institutes of Health guidelines, which include:

Active pre-transplant/HCT within one year, those with chronic GVHD or who are taking immunosuppressive medications for another indication.
CAR T cell recipients
Hematologic malignancy patients on active therapy
Patients who are within 1 year of receiving B-cell depleting therapies
Patients receiving Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors
Patients with severe combined immunodeficiencies
Lung transplant recipients
Patients who are within 1 year of receiving a solid-organ transplant (other than lung transplant)
Solid-organ transplant recipients with recent treatment for acute rejection with T or B cell depleting agents
Patients with untreated HIV who have a CD4 T lymphocyte cell count <50 cells/mm³

If you are eligible to receive Evusheld, your care team will discuss this with you at an upcoming appointment. If, after your conversation with your care team, you decide you want to take Evusheld, you’ll be added to a waitlist and contacted when it is your turn. We will re-evaluate eligibility criteria as supply allows and will keep you updated when more patients become eligible for this treatment.

Recent changes to Evusheld dose

On February 24, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revised the emergency use authorization (EUA) for Evusheld to increase the initial dose.
The dose was revised based on information that shows a higher dose of Evusheld may be more likely to prevent infection by the COVID-19 Omicron subvariants.
If you already received an initial dose of Evusheld:
Your care team will contact you in the coming weeks, if they have not already done so, to schedule a second dose.
If you decline a second dose when it’s offered to you and later change your mind, you may contact your care team at any time and tell them you would like to be scheduled.

Bonus time at work (always early April). Was pleasantly surprised that my bonus target was (insert dollars here) X 200% and my wife who also works at the same place was the same.

That has never happened in my 23 years at this Mega Corp.

It almost (not quite) makes working another year bearable LOL

I think the rabbit is probably dead. Or hiding. Or in hibernation. I'm betting the last one. It might be another year before it pokes it's nose out.

Rabbit is neither dead, nor hiding, nor hibernating. Two were cavorting on the deck today, one of whom came right up to the sliding glass door before skittering away when it realized I saw it.

Sheesh, I took a week off for my birthday, and nothing happened? Well, nothing here anyway. :D

Apart from my birthday, I also had some idiot drive into me, (nothing serious, just cosmetic damage, but now facing panel beating and insurance admin so meh), and the GF had some terrible reaction to something and ended up with a rash that developed into very painful blisters, so had her at the doc this morning to get drugged up etc.

Could have done without it all in all. :D

Keep in mind that beer, being grain derived, is not allowed on Passover. :wink:

Feeling good. I'm taking off the next two days for Star Wars day Eve and Star Wars Day. I plan to eat unhealthy crap and go on a journey to a long time ago and a galaxy far far away.

Well, at least it's Friday. Been a bit disconnected lately for no particular reason. Far too much gaming and not much of anything else. :D

All relatively well though, so no complaints...

Here in Ohio, its like mother nature knows that it was Mothers day. The day after it finally will be sunny and warm as we head into Spring/Summer. I on the other hand finally transitioned to shorts and tank tops again as it will be 80 degrees F. (26 Celsius for those on that system)
