Personally speaking, I have no plan to get the booster until at least my doctor says I should. Why would anyone take a medicine if they do not need it? I will get my antibodies checked way before I decide whether or not to get a booster. Seems like a slip-shod way of approaching something that may or may not happen. Kind of like taking an anti-venom shot before you go into the woods, just in case you get bit.
I have been reading about an Canadian study that has been done regarding side effects of the vaccine. Don't get me wrong, I have my shots and I will probably get a booster IF my doctor thinks it necessary. ONLY if he thinks it is necessary. But back to the Canadian study, they have found a percentage of serious side effects from the vaccine. Once again, I am just interested because it is good to do your due diligence when taking a medicine that is fairly new.
"..Canada’s University of Ottawa Heart Institute revealed that 1 in 1000 recipients of the vaccination suffer from heart inflammation also known as myopericarditis. "
"..15,997 doses of Moderna vaccine, and 16,382 doses of Pfizer vaccine administered over the study period, for a total of 32,379 doses. .. a mixture of first and second doses."
"32 patients were identified over the period of interest. Eighteen patients were diagnosed with myocarditis; 12 with myopericarditis; and 2 with pericarditis alone." (I have no idea what any of those are, but they seem serious to me.)

You may suggest that only 1 in 1000 show these serious side effects, based on the study. I agree, but.... if you are under 65 what are the chances of you even suffering from the virus, let alone dying from it? If you are over 65, then it is probably worth taking the chance, since an infection by the virus is so dangerous. Whether or not this study is valid or just more scare tactics, the point I am making is that I plan to consider my next step seriously and slowly, not jumping on the band wagon of getting a booster that I may not even need. I am going to get a blood test to see how much defense I have to the virus before joining the lemmings that are rushing toward the proverbial cliff.
I am not attempting to tell anyone NOT to get the booster, only to seek professional advise rather than joining a herd in a stampede to get there when you may be just as safe taking your time.
