Went in to get my booster shop, didn't have in stock the one I wanted,, Told my pharmacist I have an appointment in a couple of weeks but was looking to get one sooner,, " what's your rush , there is a 4th vac coming" I said you think so? Yup he said, already started, soon as LTC homes and the valuable are finished we are next,,,
4th vaccination
- Thread starter rgkv
- Start date
Pretty sure there is a gap in time required from the third to 4th dose so the sooner you get the third the sooner you will qualify for the 4th
The third dose is still valuable
The 4th dose as I understand it the same as the third so his comment actually makes no sense, if you wait, you are getting the third dose. Your next dose will be the third.
Sounds like either you should find a new pharmacist, that some unqualified mook in a lab coat was answering questions he wasn't qualified for or as this happens even on terb all the time, the story never happened.

It did happen, I have been around for a while so no BS from me, He is the pharmacist, for many years, at my pharmacy. In his opinion there is no rush, which I respect, but will still be getting my third shot

It was nothing personal, however again, it's terb so it was a possibility, double plus so when it comes to covid.
I wouldn't trust his opinion on anything. Again if you wait for the "fourth dose" it will actually be your third dose when you get it. If you can get it earlier do so.
Dr Oz is an actual doctor and one review showed half the shit he pushed had no evidence saying it worked and a third of that the evidence said it didn't work.
Dr Mercola is an actual doctor and he is a murderous psychopath trying to kill people for profit from his anti vac to his AIDS denialism.
Again I say,, I respect his opinion, he has done me right for years, and like I said, I'm getting the 3rd shot anyways,, appointment booked
I honestly don’t know if I will go for a 4th shot. I got my booster and have not had a good reaction this time around.
Not sure, early reports are contradicting, so will have a wait and see on the fourth dose, at least till more results are in..

I feel like my wrist on the vaccine arm is broken. The whole arm is painful but the site is like a flaring pain and the wrist literally feels broken. It is just pain even when not moving it at all. It feels better when elevated so I have it in a makeshift sling.
I vomited once last night and have a slight fever. My stomach is okay now but was still a bit queasy for a while even after being sick.
I’m lightheaded, even laying down. I almost feel medication dopey, if you know that feeling.
For reference, first/second shot - arm was sore-ish at the site and only when I moved it. Kinda like a reminder pain. Like “oh Ya, I forgot, I got my shot yesterday” . Felt run down for a few days.
Sorry to hear that.
I did not have a good month after my second shot (to put it mildly, lol). I'm very nervous about the booster. Terrified actually.
I can understand why. Totally understand. I’m sorry you went through it and for so long.Sorry to hear that.
There was an article in NP this morning informing that junior has secured enough doses to provide a 4th shot for every Canadian. That's your tax dollars going down the drain.
Let Trudeau and those bum politicians take the 4th dose lol
I am eligible for a 4th shot in 8 days. Guidance is to put 5 months in between shots now. I will get a 4th Moderna shot which is now a half dose for a booster.
Clinical trials optimized these shots to give a satisfactory immune response at the lowest dose. The 1/10th Pfizer dose for the very little kids did not work. They will bump it up until it works.
Nobody wants to give you more vaccine than the minimum that works.
My reaction to the side effects of the shots is that if this is the minimum dose required to protect me then the disease itself must be really horrible.
Novavax and Valneva vaccines may soon be available. They may have a lower side effect profile. Until then Moderna and Pfizer are what we have. Some of the greatest virologists in the world are making their best guesses. I accept the minute risks of side effects as compared to the known larger risks of the initial disease or long COVID damage.
Don Rumsfeld said you go to war with the equipment you have - not the equipment you want.

Pfizer is god for some apparently and they know it, soon crazy 8s or 13s ? Pfizer has a cult following as do the antivaxxers, both are scary. I think that this year Covid-19 will throw out an ultra weird variant that will throw the vaccination campaigns for a loop, I hope it is a good loop. Once Omicron picks up steam in a dense massively populated country like India, weird variants are to be expected.
The Oracle
Pronouns: Who/Cares
I've read where the effectiveness of the 3rd booster shot wanes in as little as 10 weeks.
I suspect that period is longer in those are healthier to begin with.
But get ready for quarterly jabs and of course the necessary coercion to force compliance..........

That's the number. The healthy and younger crowd require no shots and no boosters, but, for whatever reason, the message hasn't sunk in ,yet.

My booster was heavy on me
Felt like every muscle in my body was on fire.

Arm was sore for 48hrs.

According to sources A new variant is out there
Deltacron..S/O got the heads up today
