who plans on getting a booster shot?

[CatWoman]

according to MSNBC, they will be available next month

[Bleacher Creature]

1. I'll do whatever medical experts recommend. NT

[ProfessorGAC]

118. Describes Us Exactly

If the experts say get a booster, my wife & I will get a booster.

[cinematicdiversions]

2. I am on board NT

[SheltieLover]

3. Absolutely!

[Ocelot II]

4. Me, as soon as I can.

[Big Blue Marble]

5. As soon as I am eligible . N/T

[elleng]

6. I do.

[RockRaven]

7. If and when it is approved for persons such as myself, I will gladly get a booster.

I'm not interested in being hospitalized or killed by COVID, thank you very much, and forever avoiding exposure seems impossibly unlikely. I will take all the fact-based risk reduction I can get.

[dweller]

8. ASAP

✌🏻

[LisaL]

9. Me!

[blm]

10. ✔️

[GP6971]

11. In a heartbeat. n/t

[Ms. Toad]

12. When they are formally recommended - absolutely.

As to all of the chatter about the need for boosters undermining confidence in the vaccine, has no one ever had a child?

See:

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolescent.html#birth-15

Check out how many of the childhood vaccines need 3 doses within roughly the same time period. I don't hear anyone saying we shouldn't give boosters to kids for DPT, HiB, or polio.

[CatWoman]

20. i'm with you

[Ocelot II]

97. Yes, and we get flu shots every year.

No big deal. I expected this.

[Ms. Toad]

100. Flu shots are a bit different -

Those protect against a different type of influenza each year (the type they guess are coming around).

The ones I mentioned are closer to COVID, where there is a single target (here, the protein spikes), but it takes numerous shots/boosters to create immunity that will eventually offer long-term protecton.

[Ocelot II]

101. That's true; they aren't boosters, but nevertheless

they are injections that we don't think twice about getting. I got a booster smallpox inoculation in the late '60s before going overseas (and while smallpox was still a thing in some places) and didn't think twice about that either, even though that's a live virus that gave you an icky sore that itched.

[Ms. Toad]

102. I can barely find my smallpox scar anymore.

We had an exchange student living with us the year befor smallpox vaccinations stopped being required in the US. It had been stopped years earlier in her country, so she had to get the vaccination just to come to the US - and it made a significant scar. She was pretty angry about it.

[FakeNoose]

13. I'm planning on it

I'm not immuno-compromised, but I don't want to take any chances.

[Demsrule86]

14. I do.

[Zeitghost]

15. As with all my other health care decisions,

I'll be asking my Doc.

[Mr.Bill]

16. I will follow my Doctor's advice.

She hasn't let me down yet.

[misanthrope]

18. Same here

My pulmonologist specifically.

[Ohio Joe]

74. Agreed...

I consult with him about all my medical decisions.

[yonder]

17. Sign me up.

[frogmarch]

19. I am and

so are my sons, daughter and my adult grandchildren! We're vaxxed and will welcome a booster.

Sure wish there was a vaccine for my great-grandchildren, ages 4, 6, and 9.

[Hoyt]

21. Definitely.

[Raftergirl]

22. Raising hand

Whenever I’m eligible I will get a booster.

I get a flu shot every year and have no issue with getting a CV booster whenever it is recommended.

[FoxNewsSucks]

23. I will,

whenever it's recommended and available for me.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. I'd be first in line if I could

[pwb]

25. The Veterans Administration will notify me if I need it.

They are good like that with me. They look at us all and prioritize us then notify us.

[CatWoman]

37. that's where i received my immunizations

[TreasonousBastard]

55. Me, too.

[marie999]

72. Me, three.

[James48]

81. Me four.

VA all the way.

[CatWoman]

120. i had a video appointment with my doctor today

and she told me the booster shots are not available to the public.

they are for a certain segment only (compromised immune systems, etc.)

[helpisontheway]

26. 🙋🏽‍♀️Nt

[Hekate]

27. You betcha

[DanieRains]

28. ASAP

[3catwoman3]

29. I'm not immune compromised, so won't be in the first...

…wave, but at such time that I am so advised, I will happily roll up my sleeve.

[Greybnk48]

30. ASAP for me, my husband and all three of my grown kids, and

my 13 y/o grandson! We've been talking about it all weekend.

[ZonkerHarris]

32. yes

[TheBlackAdder]

33. We will

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

34. I'd get it tomorrow, it it were available.

I'm kind of attached to living.

[brer cat]

35. I will as soon as possible.

[GoodRaisin]

36. I am

on the recommended date 8 months after my last injection = Nov. 2.

[wnylib]

63. December 9 for me, or around then.

[denbot]

38. All four in the household.

As soon as recommended.

[samplegirl]

39. Me

I don’t want to get Covid!

[Wingus Dingus]

40. For me it will be November, I guess.

[Staph]

41. I see my oncologist on Thursday.

I'm going to insist that he makes me an appointment ASAP. My second Pfizer shot was February 19.

[Celerity]

87. So October 23rd or so. (8 months after fully vaxxed, which is 2 weeks after 2nd jab)

[roamer65]

42. Me.

[crimycarny]

43. Me!

And I pray we also get an effective anti-viral soon as well.

[Moostache]

44. Me, my wife, our kids...my dad.

I hope my sister stays sane and gets my nieces and nephews boosters as well. I won't take chances with this plague aftet it took my mother last November.

I do not want any relationship with antivaxxers or non-vaccinated by choicers. Period.

I want the vaccine passports to be in full effect by Halloween and no one to be allowed to travel without it.

[Phoenix61]

45. Me! I had the J&J and there hasn't been much

research on how effective it is against the Delta. I think I’m young but my driver’s license says I’m 60 so it seems prudent to do so.

[smirkymonkey]

86. I am planning on it and pretty much for the same reason that you are.

I don't have complete confidence in the J&J vaccine. I'm only a few years younger than you, but still at that age where I am much more afraid of coming down with Covid or even pneumonia or the flu.

[Moostache]

46. Me, my wife, our kids...my dad.

I hope my sister stays sane and gets my nieces and nephews boosters as well. I won't take chances with this plague aftet it took my mother last November.

I do not want any relationship with antivaxxers or non-vaccinated by choicers. Period.

I want the vaccine passports to be in full effect by Halloween and no one to be allowed to travel without it.

[Bluethroughu]

48. Me too.

[Bluethroughu]

47. Me, and my family of four.

The sooner the better.

[BGBD]

49. Sure

Im pretty confident in the immunity from the first set, but another one wouldn't bother me any.

[SergeStorms]

50. Oh yeah.

ASAP.

[Iggo]

51. If it's the right thing to do, I'm doing it. (n/t)

[LuckyCharms]

52. Yes, absolutely. n/t

[Mickju]

53. I will.

[LeftInTX]

54. They're already available at my pharmacy to those with compromised immune systems

They criteria is pretty strict though...

Like organ transplant, active HIV infections, certain types of chemotherapy...

[Quixote1818]

56. I got my first shots in Jan / Feb so I am probably needing one now. Sign me up. nt

[Skittles]

57. I should be good until next year

I am following the recommendations.

[cadoman]

58. as soon as it's formally released and guidelines w/what booster to use w/prior shots

I'm not going to double-down on the currently available vaccines in case the booster has adjustments. Also, those extra weeks offer additional info as to which of the vaccine brands performed the best with variants.

In short, yes, but I'm not gonna sneak a 3rd shot in right now.

[KarenS]

59. when they let me n/t

[Talitha]

60. I do - early November for me.

[Tikki]

61. My husband...for sure

He had a heart attack March of 2020..with 2 stint placements and two weeks ago he had a pacemaker inserted.

A candidate…for sure.
Tikki

[Ford_Prefect]

62. As soon as they are available here in western Magastan (49% and holding).

I have been wondering why they held off so long in pursuing it since the recommendation for boosters was made in April by the people who know it best. There really was was no cause for delay then. Making that clear then would have helped underscore how serious this all is.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

64. Absolutely!

[tenderfoot]

65. I do.

eom

[Moebym]

66. As soon as I'm eligible

You'd better believe I'll be at the front of the line.

[Ohio Dem]

67. If the actual scientists say to get one, I will as soon as it is available to me.

And I will take my 87 year-old Mom.

[DFW]

68. My wife and I will try to get them the next time we visit the USA n/t

[fierywoman]

69. Me. December-ish it looks like.

[WinstonSmith4740]

70. Absolutely.

Better safe than sorry.

[SunSeeker]

71. Oh fuck yes!

I want it yesterday!

[spanone]

73. can't wait

[Tree Lady]

75. After the 8 months they said

Which for me is November.

[ShazzieB]

76. 👍👍👍👍👍

I will be happy to get in line for this!

I don't know why anyone who isn’t an antivaxxer lonn would not want to get a booster.

[csziggy]

77. My husband and I will do it as soon as we are notified we are eligible. nt

[relayerbob]

78. As soon as I can

[pioche4]

79. ME!!!! Yes!

[Mr. Evil]

80. The experts recommend 8 months,

then on Dec. 19 I'll happily submit myself for my trifecta jab.

[Mike Niendorff]

82. 100%

Whatever it takes to stay safe and do my part.


MDN

[Wounded Bear]

83. Like before, I wait on the VA...

when they call me for an appt, I'll line up, roll up my sleeve and take it.

Just like the sheep that I am.

[634-5789]

84. I'm guessing we will, along with the annual flu shots

Whatever it takes!

[Demovictory9]

85. me... when appropriate amount of time has passed from first shots

[HAB911]

88. It will be another rout at Walgreens and CVS

[Totally Tunsie]

115. CVS is accepting registrations NOW for third COVID shots

if your second dose was in March or before. No rush...no waiting.

[mcar]

89. I do

[Voltaire2]

90. As soon as they are available and recommended.

[AngryOldDem]

91. I won't be eligible until December.

My first shot was April 1, so I’m going to try for around Dec. 1. I may see if I can pair it with the flu shot, which I think I got sometime in November last year.

Not surprised by this, but glad.

[Paladin]

92. My wife and I, for sure.

Will continue to urge the kids to do so, as well.

[Maeve]

93. My 90 yr-old mom is already asking about it

And for her sake (and mine) you betcha! I believe the current rec is for 8 months after full immunization so that would be October for her, December for me (and Hubby, as well)

[PRETZEL]

94. The day I'm eligible

[Tanuki]

95. Health care worker here, double vaxxed and also had covid from work exposure prior

to vax availability. I am already 7 months out from my second Pfizer vax and will definitely take the booster at the first opportunity!

[area51]

96. Me.

Just heard that the CDC is recommending a booster shot after 8 months. Will be later in the year for me.

[susanr516]

98. If I am part of an eligible group, yes.

I'm not going to lie about my vaccine status in order to get a booster.

[boston bean]

99. I will get one. But I will be dreading it.

[raptor_rider]

103. Not getting any boosters

Got it because my liver condition, and it made it worse. Huge ass nope on the experiment for me.. Didn’t stop the Covid either. Got it anyways 2 weeks ago. Screw big pharma

[kpete]

104. why wouldn't I?

I believe the science.
I love my fellow humans (mostly)
and I try not to be selfish

peace,
kp

[beaglelover]

105. My HIV+ husband got his Pfizer booster yesterday.

If they're recommending a booster at 8 months after 2nd shot, I'll get my Moderna booster the day after xmas!

[CTyankee]

106. when our doc says to get it, we will.

[Brother Buzz]

107. I never, even, pass up free stuff!

In all seriousness, I'm needing more information, like, is the booster shot universally compatible with Pfizer and Moderna?

[Akoto]

108. My dad is, stage 4 cancer patient. I will as soon as allowed in FL. n/t

[redwitch]

109. As soon as I can get it!

I think not until November or December.

[triron]

110. ASAP.

[iemanja]

111. Not until it's authorized for people like me

I heard a doctor on NPR warn against getting the third dose unless you fall into the category of severely immunocompromised.

[tblue37]

112. Me! ASAP!

[Deep State Witch]

113. Me!

I got my second Pfizer in late April. So... if they're saying 8 months, that will take me up to December.

[CrackityJones75]

114. ASAFP

[clutterbox1830]

116. i probably get mine in late Sept or Oct.

I mean I probably can get it now if I really want it. I mean anyone can get a 3rd or even 4th shot if they choose too.
However, I'll wait till my parent's get their first.

Vaccine are easy to get now and there is a oversupply in my area already where they are throwing them away.

[Totally Tunsie]

117. Just received my third COVID shot as my "Booster".

Signed up on CVS website without hassle and there was no waiting today. CVS is accepting registrations as long as the second was in March or earlier.

Still wearing my mask though!

[myccrider]

119. Me and the hub as soon as available. n/t
