Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well! emoticon cute

As you all may have heard, there has been discussion both in the US and in other countries about  a COVID-19 vaccine booster vaccine to be potentially launched in the fall, as cases of the Delta variant escalate around the globe.  The CDC has not yet taken a firm stance on necessity of a booster dose, as researchers are still gathering information and learning more about:

  • long-lasting protection of the different vaccines,
  • protection against COVID variants, and
  • further protecting those who may be immunocompromised.

What do you all think about this news? If you were offered a booster shot would you go for it? Do you have any concerns about an additional shot?

Feel free to discuss here!

Take care,
Courtney

I did take the booster and if need be, I will take another.  I am experiencing bouts of pneumonia in addition to esophageal cancer stage 4 and am willing to do a lot to help my immune system.  I know this can't hurt and almost anything to help boost my immune system to me, is very good.  Why, I am even thinking about next years Holidays also, which is very brave of me, I hope you all can say the same and take good care of yourself.

I got my Pfizer booster a few weeks ago.   I thought easy peasy.   After waiting at the pharmacists office for the required time I felt very hot.   I was thinking - what is going on?   I took off my coat and long sleeved shirt and then was in a t-shirt.  The feeling went away in about 5 minutues.  I am so glad.

When I got home -  I was very tired - so took a long nap...
