So far all the recommendations are to get the booster of the same brand as your original two.
I could also feel the injection site. Plus the medicine as it went in which I don't recall happening the first 2 jabs. Forgot to mention in my previous reply, the injection site was a bit itchy a couple days after but no rash or anything.
It’s amazing how people react differently to the same thing. In that respect the Covid vaccine is no different than the flu vaccine. I know people who have been laid out for days after a flu vaccine. Neither bothered me in the slightest.
Yes, this reflects individual differences in immune systems. However, the severity of reaction symptoms doesn't correlate with the degree of protection conferred, which is clearly comforting.
I have some health issues and was contacted by Kaiser to come in early for the first shot, wondering if that will happen this time as well. I'm still not quite 6 months out though.
I was contacted by UCLA Health. My 3rd jab was roughly 4.5 months following my 2nd. So if you meet the current list of who should get a 3rd vaccine (in my case immunosuppressed), you don't have to wait 6 months.
Good to know.
Practically, the third Pfizer/BioNtech shot is available to all adults, since the most one may need is self attestation of eligibility. One of the criteria is working in a setting that puts you at increased risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2, which is not a high bar, especially in areas with high prevalence. Besides, nobody is going to check these forms, and some providers may not even request them.
Yeah this is what I've heard. I'll most likely try to get one around my 6 month mark from my second dose.
As mentioned above, I had my 3rd jab ahead of the 6 month mark. Both my Cardiologist & Rheumatologist felt strongly I should do so. Being immunosuppressed in combination with other health issues, I'm grateful.
