I never expected another shot. I was in the Doctors office on another issue and he directed me where to be and gave me the time to show up.

My reaction to shot #1 & shot #2 were much less than #3. I was knocked out for over 24 hours and felt like garbage for 2 full days. I felt feverish but kept checking and never actually had a fever. Today is day four and the red mark at the injection site is way less than it was. Whoa, it looked rough for a while.

Who administer it? That's too much information for me to disclose. I answered your post out of respect for you and to try and help you decide what to do but the real answer to this is really between you and your Doctor. Good Luck.

Thank you for responding to me. OK.....that makes sense that a person's physician is administering the third shot. Then they know your history and are aware if the person is imunocompromised. I surely hope people are not going to a pharmacy and telling the pharmacy this is their first shot when it is actually their third shot.

I'll be involved in a different type of vaccine trial soon (probably, possibly - invited and have first appointment, but last time I became a test subject they cancelled the trial completely and discontinued research on the vaccine).

They'll be checking antibodies for COVID-19 even though the vaccine isn't for COVID at all. They'll be checking for antibodies for a few different things - it's amazing how much you can learn with just a couple tablespoons of blood.

They'll be testing for all sorts of stuff, before they approve me as a viable test candidate. Right now I'm just a potential candidate.

Good luck with that endeavor. And.....thank you.

No boosters are available, and boosters (3rd shot) for Moderna appear heading for a delay.

Per Dr. Hotez of Baylor U. ......Pfizer and Moderna were BOTH ORIGINALLY DESIGNED for Three (3) doses. J and J for 2 doses. Because the US early on had so many cases and deaths the US government (not sure which person or organization) decided to place the 2nd dose of Pfizer and Moderna MORE CLOSELY together than they were originally DESIGNED for. The purpose was a priority of quickness to get vaccines in arms before anti-vaccine hesitancy could RUIN the Public Health. It was a SITUATIONAL and non-ideal solution.

Today per the Israel Government....... 1) Israel uses the Pfizer vaccine. Today, those vaccinated in Jan are TWICE (2 X) as likely to have breakthroughs as those vaccinated in April.

2) The 3rd Pfizer shot reduces the chance of infection by about 75%

3) In people age 60 plus, the 3rd shot reduces the chance of severe illness by TEN TIMES (10 x)

I believe that I have heard that the Moderna 3rd shot will be available soon after the 3rd Pfizer is available

The current “administration” does not seem to understand science or anything else.

I was not aware at all of the planned number of shots. Can you link me somewhere to read that ?

I apologize if I seemed snippy.....I also was not aware of the giving or Moderna boosters.

Thanks for the info

I was under the impression that after I left 4th-grade, peer group children stopped their "TATTELING" on each other. Some seniors, as they age get wiser, more considerate, and more easy-going.

I believe that "NIHILISM" is the doctrine of trusting no one and trusting nothing. I am NOT quite ready to write the world off like that. Yes, there is a lot of negativity and chaos stirring around in society today. I blame Facebook and the dark media and I hope that it like the other Plague (CV) goes away. I would take a booster shot against negativity!

What’s the Science underlying the anti body infusions being recommended by the Governor and administered seven days a week at the Barnstorm Theatre? Do people understand that the antibodies being administered come from other humans or even animals? Do they understand that in an “infusion” the medicine is administered they an IV in your arm and pumped into your bloodstream for an hour or so?

Instead of getting a simple, painless vaccination of a drug which has been vetted by our best medical researchers for months? Because who told you it was a good idea? Governor deSantis?

The companies - both Pfizer and Moderna DESIGNED their vaccine as a 3 shot regime. J and J as a 2 shot. WE have to believe that they have the best interests of their patients (customers) at heart. They have HUGE reputations to protect. They employ the best available medical scientists.

Dr. Fauci said it was a good treatment.
Fauci urges hospitals to use more COVID-19 antibody treatments

I am sure that somewhere in this LARGE country that someone has tried some clown trick like that. Vaccines are a GOOD thing, but too much of a good thing can become a BAD thing.
