[quote=Anonymous]I'm not rushing out to get a fourth shot. Seems like the 3 dose series, especially waiting so many months in between dose 2 and 3, is effective at preventing severe illness and may be for life or at least for many years.

That said, during this acute phase, I'd consider getting another shot (not now, as we are heading into lovely outdoor weather and cases are still so low, but in the event of another surge). I do think therapeutics will continue to improve and that will be a preference for many people. The Pfizer pill is insanely effective at reducing risk for high risk people who get COVID. They are still scaling up production but I think by the end of the year it will be widely available.

For the rest of us, I could see something like Tamiflu treatment for COVID available next year. You are vaxed and boosted, you test positive in your house, you get a prescription and stop the virus in its track before things like long COVID or feeling crappy for a week come into play. Bonus is your body has gotten another boost of the virus and you have some antibodies for the next few months. You probably won't need to do that many more times.

I could that being another way out of the pandemic. [/quote]
