Covid vaccine booster shots

Has anyone got it yet? What is the timeline of your other shots? Have you had any breakthrough infections since them? Have been going out all rogue without your mask since?

I'm planning to get mine in February to test a personal theory. My husband is very eager to get his booster especially cause we have an international trip coming up but I really think he should wait until next year because he has immunity from catching covid plus 2 Moderna shots. I wish I had thought of doing a bigger gap between my first two shots as that seems to be more effective for lasting longer.

Not yet. My antibody count is above 5000.

I also want us to get antibody tested before the booster! When did you get the initial shots and have you been doing anything else that has kept it that high?

I might have the booster in January (or simply coordinate it with the next wave of Covid or my holidays abroad for maximum protection).

Never had Covid, and I don't intend to risk my future health by catching it 😛

*sobs*

I am unfortunately getting the booster this Friday only because of the international trip next week. I do not want to get it yet 😭

Which vaccine did you get?

To answer the OP’a question… I have had 3 Moderna shots already. Not a “booster”, but a 3rd shot just like the first 2. No breakthrough infections.

1st shot - 01/04

2nd shot - 02/01

3rd shot - 08/27

I wonder if @Hamsthetics is ok? Don’t know if he was vaxxed or not? He said that the Covid finally got him 9 days ago and he disappeared. 😧

What's the difference between the 3rd shot and a booster?

Half dose

Although I read something about with new variant better to have full dose

I don’t have mine yet. I was fully vaccinated in April. I don’t go anywhere without a mask.

I just found out my grandma has covid. She is in her 70s. Has anyone had older relatives get covid without any long serious effects? She has congestive heart failure so I’m worried.

She will be extremely fortunate to pull through on it.

Don't know where stardustmop's post went but my husband's gma got covid at 85+ years old right after she had a stroke and she's not on supplemental oxygen like my husband's 75+ year old father after getting covid (altho he has underlying health issues with his lungs).

Isn't Europe having the next wave rn tho?

I would like the booster before I leave for Texas in mid-December. I will be driving across the country and would feel safer with it.

My second dose was in May and it was Pfizer.

I can't find anywhere close to me that has Pfizer. I tried to schedule for Moderna and they won't allow me to mix manufacturers.

They've told me on the phone it was okay to mix them several times but they cannot put me on the schedule that way, because it is attached to the CDC and the CDC is not allowing it.

My kids had J&J and was allowed to mix with Moderna.

I will wait it out, I'm sure rules will change again over the next few weeks.

I was thinking about being rebellish and mixing manufacturers too but then my husband was like "don't come crying 2 me if u become an anomaly with some weird symptoms or mutations." At least you'll be driving! On my international flights last month I was changing masks every 5 hours whereas people around me who'd been coughing in flight and dampening up their masks hadn't changed even once!

Not enough data yet ofc but I been hearing Omicron's not hitting as bad as Delta did. Could the mutations be weakening!?

I got it. The week before Thanksgiving. I got my originals ones (Moderna) in April/May. Nope, I have not gotten Covid at all.

I just got it because my work offered & set up a nurse to come in & give them to those who wanted it. All 3 times.. that’s how I got it. I had side effects with the first two, but only sore arm this time.

Got mines yesterday.

Ive not had my booster yet, was booked for 22nd of December but then i caught covid on the 16th. I believe i need to wait 90 days before i go for my booster now.

I want to have it very much, but I have to get it only next summer, unfortunately.

I have a confession — I went out on NYE totally rogue. If there was a time I was going to get Covid, I would have gotten it that night. No breakthrough. And at all other times, I wear a KN95 mask.

It’s ok, you’re more than fully vaccinated. Hopefully any minor exposure you got was fought off by your immune system which is why you probably haven’t felt anything.

I got my Moderna booster December 10 (8 months after my 2nd dose of Modena), a week before I left for my Bora Bora trip. Just had a sore arm, a restless night with some chills (no fever), and lots of headaches which I hadn’t previously had with other doses. I was very reluctant to get it that soon but it ended up working out cause by the time we came back from the trip, Omicron hit our city hard. We have family, relatives, friends and coworkers all get hit with Omicron at the same time. Luckily French Polynesia is very strict with entry that nonvaccinated had to pay more + were hassled to test more frequently after arrival and everyone's closely being monitored with needing to submit your detailed, exact locations for stays to the government. It was honestly the perfect vacation during a pandemic. You have the overwater bungalow villas more than 20 ft apart from each other with constant fresh air coming in. Most of the resort restaurants have incredible outdoor options. I felt so safe being maskless there the entire time. Had to covid test like 4 times in a span of 2 weeks. Now back in Texas Omicron is on fire. I can't stand how some people are downplaying it by saying it's weaker than Delta. So it makes it more okay to accept it's alright to get exposed to it to justify the unnecessary gatherings during the massively, biggest wave to date?! I get people are getting tired but God, I'm so annoyed at the people already submitting themselves to it and trying to drag you to accept the fate too. Just let me stay in my corner double masked away from your reckless asses. It’s only until the wave blows over… it’s like people stopped having any ounce of patience.
