Other half got her booster.Her first 2 shots were Moderna,but her booster was Pfizer. Basically the same symptoms as the other 2,sore,felt like she had a fever,but didn't.Lasted about 3 days.
I have to wait a bit for my Pfizer booster due to being in a medical research study until the next blood tests. Did manage to get the flu shot though.

I am anticipating a 4th shot will be needed in the future. The genetic makeup of the omicron variant is different enough from the original strain (used to make all the current vaccines) that any new variants from omicron are going to be even more different than the vaccine produced immunity. I would anticipate the 4th shots will be based upon either Delta or Omicron.

Do you want proof that masks actually work?
Masks are not designed to filter air
They muffle expelled air travel distance
It's winter so when you see your breath, it's moisture from your lungs.
Go outside with another person. Take turns exhaling and seeing how far your breath travels. Then mask up. Do it again. This is a great learning tool. It's also undeniably accurate
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Quote:And wearing a mask (properly) isn’t just about protecting others. New research suggests that a mask reduces the volume of germs the wearer breathes in, protecting the wearer from getting sick. So if you leave your nose uncovered, you’re breathing in more particles from the air around you, putting yourself at greater risk of catching COVID-19.

I saw this. Based upon apparent waning antibody levels, the poor protection against Omicron by Pfizer’s vaccine, and the lack of politicization of combating Covid-19 in Israel it makes sense they would roll out another round of vaccinations. Higher antibody levels can help offset the poorer protection against Omicron.

Both my wife and I had the J&J in May, and the J&J booster 3 weeks ago. Neither of us has had any side effects.

I had covid few months ago, few days after my flight from Mexico. I spent few extra hours in a bed cause i felt a little cold and headache. I had cold-fx medicine at home (ordered some time ago from online pharmacy) and took it two or three times. Didn't feel my best for about 3 days, after just stayed in quarantine and enjoyed tons of movies. I am vaccinated with Pfizer

Hi all,
Had my booster (moderna) yesterday. This morning the injection site is tender if I forget and bump it.
50 mg dose. I would rather that they would have done 100 mg.

The latest information you will hear on the news - if you pay attention.
J&J - 1 and done, need booster every 2 months.
Pfizer - 2 shots, need booster every 5 months.
Moderna - 2 shots, need booster every 6 months.
I say every __ months, the media is still saying 1 booster, but as mentioned here, other countries are starting to mention a 4th shot - I think it will continue.
My story - both wife and I had the 2 Moderna shots, booster shot early December. Went on vacation for Christmas and New Years. Flew to Vegas, walked around the first morning - everyone including us masked up. Then drove to Southern UT, no one wears masks. My wife went to a couple stores on the second day, I went to a store, but masked up, continued to mask up if around other people. My wife, hit or miss on masking. On our 6th day of the trip, she comes down with a bad cold, trouble breathing, headache, fever. No issues with smell or taste. We think it is just a cold. Continue to mask up but added N19 filters to our cloth masks. On the 9th day of our trip we are able to get over the counter home tests. We both test, she is positive, I am not. We had to get home, so we had to fly, this was 7 days after her initial cold symptoms etc, we get home, the next day we all test, she is still positive, now I am positive, our son, negative. My point, we are all vaccinated and her and I boosted, we still got it. However, the symptoms are not bad and other than feeling like we have a cold, we don't feel like this is the end of the world - I guess that is due to the vaccination, so it works. However, masks, not sure if they work. I was very diligent in wearing a mask if in public around other people. Other than the first day in UT, my wife wore her mask religiously also.
