COVID 19-WILL I GET THE THIRD BOOSTER SHOT
there is only one answer for me
thats
yes
i will qualify since i am over 65 years old
since i am in the biogen aduhelm (aducanumab) study i have to time my immunization no matter which one 10 days after my infusions and 10 days before my infusion
i think its because aduhelm is a monoclonal antibody
so
i have circled friday october 1st as the day i will get mine
i got the pfizer shot 2nd shot on march 6th of this year
so that will be at least 6 months after my last one
why am i getting it
one answer
mr hudson who is immunocompromised from his kidney transplant
i dont want to bring it to him
remember even if you are double vaxxed you can still transmit the virus to others
if you get sick your case may be milder
many dont even realize they are sick when they are contagious
thats what makes this virus so dangerous
it can be transmitted just 3 days after exposure
you may not even know you have it when you pass it to someone
thats what makes this so dangerous to the vulnerable folks
so i try to avoid high risk situations that could expose me to the virus
i always wear a mask outside the condo
i wear an n95 mask to protect myself better
my wife she and i are doing about 90% of the things we were doing before the pandemic
we are doing them safer
granted
we arent going to indoor restaurants concerts staying in hotels flying or traveling
i have limited my volunteering to just the community garden
i plan to do this until i get triple vaxxed and this pandemic has waned a lot more than it appears it will in the next several months
expect another surge or bump to occur later this winter
if the kids get vaxxed and my wife she and i get triple vaxxed then we will be in good shape i think
until them
i aint changing what i do
weve come too far in the last 18 months+ to let our guard down now
also
the fda advisory committee recommended only vaxxing the over 65 year olds and the immunocompromised folks
im not sure how they define immunocompromised but that will include a lot of you
eventually moderna and johnson and johnson will get approved for the additional shots
then
the fda panel will vote on all of this
sometimes they dont agree with the fda advisory committee
then
the cdc reviews all of this and makes their recommendation
sometimes its the same and sometimes its slightly different than the fda panel
my guess it will be the same
eventually all of yall will be recommended to get a 3rd shot
i hope that they will better identify those immunocompromised persons
eg
an obese male middle age with high blood pressure and diabetes is immunocompromised
there are also a lot of high risk folks with diseases that make them high risk
just read the stories of folks who are immunized against covid who get real sick
they have a lot of comorbidities
yesterday i was talking to a local nurse who works at the local hospital
now thats who folks should be talking to
they see it every day
she was immunized against covid in december of 2020
she is exposed everyday at work to covid patients
in my mind that makes her high risk
she should get the 3rd shot also now
she also told me of cases of long haul covid where theyre are in and out of the hospital multiple times over the last year
these nurses know
they are big covid vaccine advocates
they live this disease every day
they should make some of these governors in the hard hit states walk through the covid units to see what their decisions do to people
well one of them will have to use his wheelchair to tour these dying covid patients
also
im getting my 3rd shot since i am older and im sure my immune system is not as good as it was years ago
i read of too many older folks catching this and getting gravely ill
either dying or becoming a covid cripple
i dont want it to all end for me that way
i will wait to get my flu shot after my covid shot in my next 10 day window in later october
its ok to get the flu and covid shot together
i just didnt want to feel bad from the flu shot and the covid shot together
ao
hopefully in about 10 days i will be triple vaxxed
take that you covid virus
also
my wife she got the moderna vaccine
it will probably get approved in two weeks for a 3rd shot
it will likely be an half dosed one since its first two shots were higher doses than pfizers
thats why its working better and also why it probably had more side effects
also if you had the covid infection and didnt get any vaxxine
you may or may not have good antibody protection from the virus
it is recommended you get vaxxed
talk to your medical provider about getting your 3rd vaxxine
