    My HMO contacted me this morning - I have the 3rd helping of the vaccine tomorrow morning... Seems pretty effective... Hopefully the vaccine too...

      booster? I am not familiar with any vaccines that have 3 shots per complete dose. My doctor said I don't need a booster right now, as I am not in the high risk list. Here in the States, booster shots are only approved for people with certain medical conditions.

        Yes. In Israel now try to give it to anyone over 30, who got the original two at least 6 months ago... We have a very large number of infected in the last two weeks or so, but fortunately the number of seriously ill is lower - probably because of vaccine they got before...

          The vaccine was never intended to prevent sickness. It was intended to prevent hospitalization and death. I am sorry Israel is making everyone over 30 get a booster, that is an unnecessary shame. The science does not support such a move at this time. Kind of like New Zealand locking the country down after one case of COVID. Insanity at its finest. :sigh:

            Sure you do not know isreali people... :laugh: There is no 'making' no-one - definitely not 'everyone'... It is a suggestion, just like the first two was... There are already more than 1.7 million that took the 3rd... Also there are over 900 thousands that didn't took a single shot...

              That Dilbert comic reminded me of the movie Downsizing (2017) - IMDb[^] interesting concept, but sadly got some negative reviews :-\

                  I live in the States, and will get the booster shot as soon as it is available. It can't hurt (at least not for long :) )

                      Seriously, I've had the third vaccine, and had no more bad effects than I had the first two times - pain at the site of the injection, and tiredness the next day. The day after that I was fine.

                              And how many of those infected didn't have the vaccine already? Just counting "new infected" without stating how many were previously vaccinated is fraud.

                                The Shingles vaccine takes 2 shots. I forgot the second one back in Feb when I was supposed to get it. Remembered in July. Will talk to Dr about it at physical in Oct.

                                I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

                                  Well, again, my doctor has advised me to NOT get the booster yet. So, I will do what my doctor advises.

                                    The vaccine is sounding like it would be a seasonal / yearly thing. The timing is better for everything in the fall. Syncing. Better early than late.

                                      And how many of those infected didn't have the vaccine already? Just counting "new infected" without stating how many were previously vaccinated is fraud.

                                      Is seems that with the variant vaccine does not prevent infection but prevents hard effects... So vaccinated or not - you get the virus...

                                        booster? I am not familiar with any vaccines that have 3 shots per complete dose. My doctor said I don't need a booster right now, as I am not in the high risk list. Here in the States, booster shots are only approved for people with certain medical conditions.

                                          My HMO contacted me this morning - I have the 3rd helping of the vaccine tomorrow morning... Seems pretty effective... Hopefully the vaccine too...

                                          In Canada they are giving third doses to the immuno-compromised people to help them get the same level of protection that everyone else gets from two doses. So yes, your third dose will likely improve your protection. But I would only ever suggest that people get that dose if it is doctor prescribed.
