Folks who got booster shots… why did you? Did you see data on improved outcomes, or was it more of a “they’re available now, might as well” decision?

I’m seeing more breakthrough cases / overall cases are increasing. Literally no downside to getting my third shot.

Both my wife and I did it. Zero side effects from the Phizer buster. It makes us more comfortable leading a normal life and going out.

Pfizer, all three were Pfizer. One week later I’m finally starting to feel better but it was pretty crappy

There are many studies about waning vaccine effectiveness after 6 months (the Lancet). That’s why I got the booster once I was eligible.

The new “full vaccination” is 3 shots

Next week it will be 4 shots

I’m getting it to get another sick day. Moderna knocked me on my ass my second shot can’t wait to get another sick day

It’s been six months, have multiple trips coming up with trips to populated areas so got it as precaution

Haven't gotten it yet but I might this weekend, with the holidays coming up, I want to know I have the lowest chance possible of getting family sick, and I feel like we're going to have another spike soon so id rather have the coverage of having done my best

If you need an extra push here it is. I said the same thing last Friday, made a last minute appointment for Saturday, and I’m SO glad I did it. My state is in a pretty bad state right now so I feel I got ahead of it

Got Moderna, and had COVID anyway, figure I might as well get Pfizer now and maybe J&J down the road, see what kind of mutation I can brew in my body

My question is…why not? Assuming you believe in vaccines and got the first two doses. Curious to understand more perspectives here

I had COVID and had zero symptoms. I had three days of nasty side effects after the vaccines. So I’m open to boosters but would have to see some good data first showing the pain is worth it.

What would you do in this situation?
I have my last day at employer A right before thanksgiving and will be covered on their health insurance through 11/30. I am taking some time off before starting a new position with employer B in mid January but their insurance wouldn’t be effective until 2/1. I have 60 days to elect COBRA under employer A, which leaves me with 2 days where I wouldn’t have coverage (Jan30/31). What would you do in this situation? (Cont)

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team.
