[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've read through the clinical trial data-- it looks like a fourth dose provides some protection against infection (compared to 3 doses) for about 2 months, and then begins to wane. And honestly, the severe cases were so low in the Israeli trial (5.5 cases per 100,000 in the three-dose group) that even though this was reduced in the four-dose group, it seems that the three-shot efficacy against severe illness has not waned enough (and/or we don't have a lethal enough variant) to recommend a fourth shot for healthy people.

Assuming, for now, that the vaccines against Covid have these properties-- initial strong efficacy that wanes, most rapidly against infection and much more slowly against severe disease and death-- as a healthy person I see no pressing need to get a second booster right now.[/quote]

This. The evidence that the second booster does anything beyond giving you a very temporary antibody boost is non-existent. I'm 49 and not getting another one of these same shots.[/quote]
