I didn’t think to get a pic of our drive-thru line at our Dr’s clinic, it would’ve been nice, ’cause Sheila and I have been lucky enough to get our Covid-19 booster shot (Moderna version)!

There’s several bits of info we learned going through the process of setting up and obtaining our appts for our booster shots —

• Certain folks can get a 3rd shot as soon as 28 days after their 2nd shot if they fit certain guidelines, most specifically moderately to severely compromised immune systems. Folks, many up in years, with ongoing or life long issues, could benefit from bolstering the immune system – https://laist.com/news/health/covid-vaccines-third-dose-booster-los-angeles-southern-california
• Figuring out if oneself should consider the booster shot before the late September date for the general population of health care workers and other elderly isn’t easy. This article says, “people should talk to their healthcare provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them.” – https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/coronavirus/covid-booster-shots-who-is-eligible-and-when-can-they-get-one-heres-what-to-know/2593160/ . My Dr told us we should get ours now, so we did 😊
• Neither cost or incentives figured in our decision as we were told early on no insurance was need and cost was covered by the government; ie, our tax $ 😊
• Apparently the 3rd Covid vaccine shot should be of the same as initially taken, ie either Moderna or Pfizer. In the case of J&J single shot vaccine recipients, a 2nd shot from either of the other two vaccines available are acceptable – https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/03/jj-covid-vaccine-recipients-can-get-supplemental-pfizer-or-moderna-shots-in-san-francisco.html
• An excellent overview of the 3 vaccines, and who is most at risk (no surprise, the unvaccinated) via the AAMA – https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/so-you-got-jj-vaccine-here-s-what-you-should-know-about-delta-variant-boosters-and-more

I’ll only add that Covid has been and continues to be an evolving threat, and besides your own best judgement and conscience, your own physician or trusted medical person is the best way to decide if and how you should proceed regarding a 3rd or booster shot. They’re actually defined differently almost strictly on whether one possibly (or definitely) has immune compromised issues. If you’re healthy, it’s a booster. If you’re compromised, it’s a 3rd shot. I guess that helps define the purpose of the shot among the population.

And final word goes to Dr Fauci —

“It has been an almost reproducible phenomenon with COVID-19. If you wait for something bad to happen before you respond to it, you find yourselves considerably behind,” said Fauci. “Better stay ahead of it than chasing after it.”

Take care everyone ♥️ Please stay well so others can also; survival of the fittest, human fittest, I believe, requires empathy 💕 If the human species doesn’t survive, there is no fittest human survivor…. ☺️
