Personally, I plan to treat ongoing Covid boosters like flu shots and take them whenever I’m “supposed” to take them. I’ve never had the flu either (at least not seriously enough to see a doctor), but I still get the shots because I figure it can’t hurt.

That said, I’m eligible (50) but haven’t done the 2nd boost yet. I thought it made sense to give a little time for the first booster’s protection to wane, and/or time any new boost for before travel or other events that might have a higher likelihood of exposure.

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?


As someone who is compromised and can't do all this-this sounds crazy to me. You either have amazing luck or an aamzing immune system or are one of the people who got covid and had no symptoms and never knew/and or could have passed it on to someone like me.


Them doing a booster will not help you as it is not stopping transmission. I’ve basically been home for the past two years as is my family and rarely seeing anyone. No one cares about anyone but themselves so you have to protect yourself. We live in a selfish society who is raising the next generation of selfish kids. My kid does one activity unmasked as they cannot mask and I suspect they brought it home but home test was negative. I was sick for over a month.


I agree with pp that you are the selfish one. If is extremely selfish of you to expect everyone to put their lives on hold or decrease their quality of life, because of your health issues. I'm sorry for your predicament, but it's entirely on you and your family.


I expect to be decent human beings and take basic precautions. If you were a decent person and could take even basic precautions to stop the spread, it would increase others quality of life. But, clearly we see who you are.


You're hopelessly naive. The world you're hoping for isn't coming back, masks or no masks.

Looks like that might be the version out in the fall. I have had one booster (last Nov.). I'm trying to be careful and wait until fall to get my next booster.

I don't do all the stuff OP mentioned. Try to stay away from crowds, or at least be in large venues with high ceilings and more air circulation. Far as I know, I haven't had it yet. I do not usually mask unless it is required at a doctor's office.

I will wear a mask on plane trips this summer. Just too many people in tight quarters. It can't hurt -- and it might help... even a little.


My guess is by the time this booster comes our, omicron will be over and we’ll be onto our next mutation, making this ineffective.

You are insane, and so clearly the selfish one. I say this as a woman who lost a parent myself as a child.

We're not talking about having covid and going out and about normally. If you have no indication you're sick... there's no reason you can't live your life totally normally, including not wearing a mask on planes, working in schools, going to gyms, meeting friends, and living your life.

Have you considered that maybe you’re the selfish one??


I am selfish by taking precautions? Your logic makes no sense. My kids have already lost a parent. They don't want to lose two.

I am about your age and healthy. I’ll get a second booster shot when I’m eligible. I vaccinated and will be boosting my 5 year old too.

You're not eligible for one FOR A REASON. There's not good evidence that it is significantly beneficial. Just chill.

No, it isn't even a question if you're under 50 and healthy.

You aren't eligible, and no one is recommending you get a booster.

I expect to get one this fall, a new formula. FDA will be discussing plans for fall later this month: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-announces-tentative-advisory-committee-meeting-schedule-regarding

50 + female here. Just got my second Pfizer booster last weekend. I have not had covid yet. I am fine with getting a booster every 6 months or so if recommended. I had my booster Friday evening and had flu like symptoms all weekend, along with the sore arm.

No boosters for me.

47 yo female. Got two shots and had Covid. Covid counts for me ad my booster.

I will not be getting any additional shots, no matter what Pfizer thinks I should do.

Do you live under a rock? Seriously. Vaccines prevent serious illness not transmission. How do you not know this?? The only vaccine that matters is yours if you truly are iimmunocompromised.


The PP is not objecting to OP not getting a booster, but to her working with kids, going to the gym, eating indoors, etc., all maskless. She needs to come to terms with the fact that she needs to protect herself, and that she can't keep calling people selfish and childish for just going back to normal human lives.

I got the booster in March, then got covid in late May. Turned out fine, it was an exceptionally mild case, which I attribute to the second booster, so I'm glad I got it.
