covid booster

[redbird]

I got a covid booster yesterday. When I told the pharmacy clerk I wanted the vaccine, he checked that the Pfizer vaccine would be OK, then started to ask when I’d gotten my last booster, stopped, and instead asked whether I’d had one in the last two months. When I said no, he asked whether I’d had covid in the last two months “as far as you know.”

The last time I'd checked, they were saying to wait at least three months after having covid, and I thought the recommended interval between boosters was also at least three months. (My previous covid booster was last fall.) Massachusetts is now advising everyone to get boosters twice a year, and having that as an official recommendation means health insurance companies will pay for it.

I think it's nearly time for me to get a booster, too.

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to schedule a booster because it's been about six months and also I'm traveling in a few weeks. I hope the gatekeeping goes as smoothly as it did for you!

Now, can the Massachusetts public authorities get the Ontario Ministry of Health to switch back to twice-a-year boosters?
