placnx Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 7 hours ago, jacko45k said: I thought it was a little more complicated, namely it depended on what the 2 first shots were. My Mrs got her booster after 3 months, a Pfizer on top of a Sino and a AZ. I had 2xPfizer and believe I have to wait 6 months to qualify for a booster. It's absolutely complicated. When the goal is to prevent infection and transmission, then boosters have to be timed to boost as antibodies wane. But this timing varies by primary vaccines and the health/age of the individual. Countering infection through T-cells is different and not affected by this timing issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 12 hours ago, webfact said: Prof Dr Yong likened proper vaccination to filling a glass with water. To cope with COVID-19, people should start with two initial shots, followed by a booster jab, and that would be a full glass of water. I don't think I am intelligent enough to follow Dr. Yong's overly academic explanation here. Perhaps from now on I should have fewer initial shots and also skimp on the boosters from my liquor cabinet and settle for a full glass of water instead.

Danderman123 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I got an AstraZeneca booster just 2 months after my last Moderna jab. The only symptom has been an overwhelming desire to flee Omicron infested bars and get out of Thailand, which resulted in my ending up in Brazil. I should report this on the VAERS system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try that mirror… Propoganda is not evidence, it's always easy to get along with the narrative build, but there is a reason that Homo sapiens is not sheep ????

Had AZ in June and Sept with a Pfizer booster a couple of weeks ago myself. In Pattaya there was quite a drive to use up Pfizer and a lot of older Expats were given it at both the BHP and Central Festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
