prairiewindmomma Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Does anyone have documentation on guidelines for immunocompromised + booster? I've had three doses for my initial series, but I haven't seen official shot guidance (and haven't looked recently) on boosters five months after completion of initial series.... I'd love that documentation if anyone has it handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel better about a fourth shot if it was modified for current variants. If it continues to appear that omicron protects against past variants much better than past variants protect against omicron, an omicron-based booster seems a better idea. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time they roll it out, omicron will have peaked, and we will be on to something else. They need to look at the data and see if they can mathematically predict what type of variant would be next and do some research on how to fight it. This is ripping through so fast that as the saying goes, the horse has left the barn! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ripping through so fast that as the saying goes, the horse has left the barn! I agree with that. But based on current data, it looks like an omicron based shot could be better than an original strain based one. I saw an interesting study this past week showing which strain’s antibodies protected from which other strains, and it really looked like it may be time for a switch.

This article implies it goes back to mid-2020. https://www.livescience.com/omicron-origin-theory-rodents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCB Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Don’t know if anyone who is skeptical about the vaccine is following this thread, but thought something I experienced might be interesting for them concerning possible side effect follow up. I got a Pfizer vaccine last December with the second dose the beginning of January. I registered and filled out all the V Safe questions, initially weekly and then less frequently when they contacted me with them. I just had the yearly follow up sent to me and I completed it and submitted it yesterday. One of the questions was “Have you seem a Dr or sought medical help since your last questionnaire.” I had to see the Dr in August for a transient problem that completely resolved and did not seem in any way connected to the vaccine, especially since it had been over 7 months since my last dose. There is no way of clarifying that on the questionnaire, though, it’s just a yes or no question. Anyway, I just received a phone call from the CDC following up on it and checking if there was any possible link with the vaccine. I hope that might be reassuring to some people, that they are actually checking up on things. 12 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 At least they left the mandate for healthcare workers in place, and the mandate for federal workers wasn't part of the suit so that still stands as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I thought I'd bump this thread because I thought is where we were sharing booster side affects back in the day? If we have a newer thread for this let me know. I'm still interested! My spouse and I both had dose 4 recently DH dose 1 - Pfizer - sore arm dose 2 - Pfizer - sore arm dose 3 - Prizer - sore arm, 1 day slightly tired, swollen lymph node in armpit dose 4 - Moderna - BARELY a sore arm, really no problem, out biking day after Me dose 1 - Pfizer - sore arm dose 2 - Pfizer - sore arm, sligthly tired day 2, swollen lymph node in armpit dose 3 - Pfizer - sore arm, flu like symptoms from 10 hours post shot until about 30 hours (chills, fever, aches, malaise, etc). Swollen lymph node in armpit. dose 4 - Moderna - sore arm, flu like symptoms from 10 hours post shot until about 30 hours. But I did go out and walk just fine for an hour the following day. No lymph node action though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
