    Get your booster shots my friends

    If you meet the 6 month interval for Pfizer and Maderna and two months for J&J you are eligible.

    My question is when do we need to get another booster? Will it be an annual thing like the flu shot, or will if be more frequently?

    We learn as we go! I have read that there will likely be more boosters but they expect the intervals to get longer and possibly be annual. They can jab me as often as they like

    I eat healthy, have a good immune system and work from home. Had the J&J 3 months ago but really don't feel the need to get another. Have never had a Flu shot and don't plan too. I'm among the thinking of exercise, keep your weight in check, don't get diabetes and I'll be in a category that will survive it if I get it.

    "If" implies the acceptance of the knowledge that you indeed can get it...Given that, why close a window of opportunity for survival?......Ben

    I feel I will survive it if I get it again....

    I could get pancreatic cancer, should I have my pancreas removed? I'm healthier now than I have ever been in my life so have little concern.

    I'll rephrase my question then: Why survive it when you can avoid it?......Ben

    If Phil doesn't want it he doesn't want it. It's his business. I support his own medical decisions.
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    The booster does not prevent you from getting it again.

    I don't want to sound as if I am lecturing you B0---but in a sense I am

    This is a far broader area than "self"---this is truly a social issue, where your "personal" decisions can impact the lives of those around you---and even possibly those who care for you if you do get COVID. Will it likely kill you---let's assume not---but what about others that might come in contact with you, those who are immune compromised, those that are age compromised, those that are health compromised--and yes those not vaccinated? We all have a responsibility to "society"---this is not a personal rights issue, this is a community health issue.

    I respect your rights---this is not a right, this is an obligation we all share for each other.

    Don't help this continue to grow--please
