In UK we stopped giving the Astra Zenica vaccine to under 40's some time ago because of a similar problem.
They now give them the Pfizer vaccine instead.

Yea Two Bills sometimes I wonder where they get their information from. I think some people are trying to play Dr. If they don’t get a shot from one company, like you said get Pfizer, that’s what get & if they didn’t get the original 1st 2 shots stay home & stay the hell away from me, because I don’t want any of these people touching me or want to breath their stinking breath. I haven’t gotten my booster shot yet but I will as soon as I know it works & not because someone thinks they originally got this vaccination thing started. I know who pushed getting these shots so I’ll wait until I get an official OK.

The number of micrograms of the vaccines, or the dose of any medication for that matter, is not comparable between meds, only within that med itself.

50 MICROgrams of Fentanyl is far more powerful than 750 MILLIgrams of Tylenol, that's a 15,000 fold difference in "dose"

I've read that the 2 vaccines are almost identical and that Moderna has more RNA because of it's higher dose. But of course what I read might be wrong.

So, I guess this means that we are lucky to be OLD! And I guess that Sweden and Denmark could care less about their over 30 population. Forget those old *arts. We can just thin the herd! Good opportunity.

Whom are you calling an "anti-vaxxer"?

And what, pray tell is "thigh head"?

Reminds me of my patients who insist on a different medication because it "had more milligrams"...

Actually, I have read where they feel that Moderma has a longer efficacy(?) period so far, than Pfizer. It was suggested that this may be the reason that a booster has not been suggested for Moderma at this time. I had read the same thing that the other poster did where the serum in Moderma was three times stronger than Pfizer. But, if the serum is not similar in structure, I guess that wouldn't make any difference when comparing. Seems kind of weird that when giving out the vaccinations, they were telling people that it did not matter if they got a different second dose than they got with the first. Not sure where that came from. This is just a discussion. I have never suggested listening to anyone other than your personal physician.

But it's helps to diminish your opinion by claiming you said things you never said...

My perspective exactly. I constantly wonder why/how so many chatter on, defend, argue about the particular vaccine they got is "best", defile those who can't, won't, or should not get the vaccine, and all manner of variations of the same. Some, because they once worked in the medical field in come capacity, feature themselves as the final authority on this virus, others pontificate on the subject seemingly based on characteristics of bacteria more than the characteristics of a virus.... and a "new" virus at that, a man made manipulated virus that truthfully, NO ONE knows every detail of, yet, it churns on and on on social media sites. So what is it that makes individuals act like this ? Fear ? Do they realize their beliefs and conclusions may one day prove to be "wrong", and another may have been correct, so they did in to try to calm their own insecurity about if they chose the "right brand", the "right booster", the "right mask" to actually protect them ? My inclination.... I believe one day we will be totally stunned about what we believed about this virus, what we did, the things we were so certain would protect us, and many many other "facts".
