Healthy people living life normally - did you get 2nd booster?

[Anonymous]

I've been living my life normally for over a year. There's no way I have not been exposed to covid multiple times, yet I have never gotten it. Healthy, no comorbidities, and have had 3 shots.

It's been about 6 months since my booster. If you're in a similar circumstance, are you getting a 2nd booster? I don't react well to the shots and have to plan a day off, otherwise it would be no big deal.

How old are you? My answer entirely depends on age.

Don't get too cocky. I know so many boosted/ double boosted people with covid right now. Even "cautious" ones.

43.

I'm not trying to be cocky. I work with kids 5 days a week, who are germy, maskless, and get right in your face. I go to the gym several days a week, have traveled, eat indoors, am social, and still no covid. It's just my reality. I do however, have a hard reaction to the shots.

Would you get a 2nd booster if you're due?

Two people have told me that their doctor told them to hold off for a booster coming in fall that will be good for omicron and it's variants.

They promised one in the spring. No booster for me.

If you are 43 and healthy, I’d wait until there’s a new shot or until you have a trip or something that you specifically want to avoid covid for 6 weeks. That’s all a booster would really do for you.

Yes, I just got my second booster.

If you’re healthy and 43, then you’re not eligible for a booster.

second booster, I mean

So because you have a hard reaction to the shots is likely why you haven't had Covid yet. You had a robust response to the vaccine. Congrats! I am your exact age and also work in a school and I had very weak reactions to the 3 shots. I got Covid in May, when I unmasked for a social event. But I believe if I had been eating in restaurants/going to the gym as much as you, I probably would have gotten it earlier than last month.

I'm waiting for the fall to get my booster. I'll be outside a lot this summer anyway.

No. I'd be happy to get one, but I tried and the pharmacy wouldn't give one to me because I'm under 50 and not immune compromised. I'm not going to lie about it.

I’m similar OP. 43, teacher. Have done all of the things you listed but have worn a mask during surges. No one in our house has had covid yet. I am baffled.
I plan to wait until the fall to get my next booster. I am thinking of it like a flu shot at this point.

That is what I'm doing.

I got the booster before attending an in person inside large graduation event. I otherwise would have waited.
