In anticipation of this week’s ACIP meeting on Thursday (that’s the CDC group to review after the FDA’s meeting last week), there’s lots of chatter about mix-and-match for vaccine boosters. Many of you know that I received J&J’s vaccine last spring - so, I’m watching this data closely. FINALLY we have
Do you have any insight on booster recommendations for those who have had COVID and got vaccinated? I'm a nurse eligible for Pfizer booster & definitely willing to get, but have seen a couple of different articles talking about not needing one and wondered if there's any merit to them. I had antibodies drawn for a study that showed both spike protein and total antibodies elevated, and I'm not sure what to do with that data either lol
Question on the Moderna booster as a J&J recipient... Table 2, group 1 above shows the Moderna booster is 100 mcg. I thought the Moderna booster that was authorized by the CDC was only 1/2 dose, or 50 mcg. How does this impact the findings? Personally, would you go with the Pfizer or Moderna booster?
Hi Emily, Both hubby and I received J&J back at the end of March, early April. We now want to get an MRNA booster. I have a Pfizer scheduled for next week. I had my DTAP a week ago and wanted to put some time between the two. I called my doctor and he said that getting a booster after DTAP was ok. Any thoughts on this? Also, do you think Pfizer is enough? We are both 52. Hubby is slightly overweight and only other issue is on statins for high cholesterol. I am overweight and have very controlled HBP. Do you think Moderna has an edge over Pfizer as a booster or the other way around? Thank you!
I have a question I know you can’t give medical advice it’s just a question. I have an 80 year old man who got the Pfizer back in January 2020. Being that they are mixing and matching boosters is it at all probable that she could get the Moderna booster? Conceivably would this bolster immunity more than the Pfizer? 🤔
Thanks for this helpful info. I got Pfizer for my initial doses. I also found this report, on the reactions to the third shot. Based on the tables at the bottom (similiar to the side effects table you posted), do you know how long people waited to get the third shot? If I wait longer, will the chances of side effects decrease or increase? I'm 44 yo, "healthy" but work with a high risk population. I'm also a serious emetophobe and hypocondriac (working on it) so the less side effects the better for me. My first two shots were rough on the nerves, although I suppose my reactions were pretty mild (headache, thirsty but no fever, not much appetite but it could have been the nerves).
Did you initially get the j&j vaccine? Wondering why you would get a Moderna or Pfizer booster and then an additional mRNA vaccine. I initially got j&j and am looking forward to a Moderna booster ASAP.
