That is interesting. But I haven't seen anything on how they are doing on an evolved vaccine.

Definitely will get the booster if Moderna's booster is made available here in MS. Being in the high risk category, I'll be one of the first group to be called.

I'm sure my employer will make it as mandatory as the first one was. So yes, I'll be getting it.

(and would get it even if it was not mandatory - I have been fully vaccinated since January)_

Will it be?
Just watched your Governor interviewed on CNN this morning. Seems to be a cretin
I would think just living in Mississippi puts you " in the high risk category"

IMO waiting for the new, improved, bestest-of-the-latest version is a never-ending fool's quest when dealing with an evolving, rapidly mutating virus.
If you get the 3rd jab as soon as you're eligible you'll then be near the beginning, instead of the end, of the queue for the booster to the booster
(shot #4) - which hopefully won 't be needed. Or at least - not for a good long while.

He lives in a world of his own. It will be available. I received my first dose in January and the second in February, so not worried about availability and 'stayin' alive'.

The fact is that anyone could go and get a booster shot right now. Most pharmacies will simply ask if it's your second or first shot, and will then give it no questions asked. There have been many reports of people doing so, and there is a long history of doctors using medications 'off label' - so it's not that much of a stretch.

The only reason I haven't gotten on yet is because they aren't recommending it, The science though appears to support the need, especially after having been vaccinated for 8 months. I'm considering just gong and getting a 3rd Pfizer at some point.

In time it will likely become like getting an annual flu jab. The world did such a terrible job at the outset that this virus has very likely become endemic - alongside the fact the vaccinations have been designed to fight the virus and not prevent infection. In the UK (not checked Israel), the number of deaths has started to bounce along around the level Flu would normally cause each day on average and as we never report the number of flu infections, what seems like a high daily infection rate could just be the future we can look forward to. At least with this virus, it is relatively stable unlike Flu, for which there are so many strains they essentially take a well educated punt every year in concocting the vaccination.

My wife and I definitely plan to get third dose of Moderna when recommended. May even get early but haven’t decided yet. Many cases still occurring here in Tennessee with no evidence of anyone taking recommended precautions.

Sometime ago I decided Dr Fauci talked a lot of sense. If he say yes, I get. In fact quite happy to be a guinea pig for the Moderna booster if I can find someone to dispense it.

In fact, he got the Moderna shot ....good for the goose - good for the gander (and me)
