I got 2 Pfizer jabs. Time for my booster. Healthy 61-year-old. Got Covid in February and two vaccine shots over May and June. Should I get Pfizer or Moderna for booster?

My friend is really sick with two positive tests. Had 2nd vaccine in March. Booster might be worth it..

For whatever reason, the doc I spoke to said to just stick with whatever you had earlier. I know some people have wanted to avoid the Moderna side effects, but I have been told by everyone that the half-dose booster does not have the same horse kick as the original vaccination protocol.

Similar here. I had called my doc's office. I guess they get this question all day, every day - they quickly just told me to stick with whatever I got first time. I'm sure that's an easy answer.

I suspect my prior positive covid (plus I had the monoclonal antibodies as treatment), plus 2 shots Pfizer that I'm probably Superman protected - but for how long?. I'm in no rush to get booster, but when would be ideal to get it? and which dose to get? Those questions are a little harder to answer rather than just a blanket 6 months after 2nd dose and stick with what you got first time.

Get an antibody test to see how you stand

and this is why I TexAgs - thanks for the response. Quick google and this looks like a great option, didn't know it existed.

My guess is that you'll still have good levels which should bring you some peace of mind to wait

Correct

None

At this point I would get whichever one will pay you most. Some of y'all need to take the NASCAR approach and make some money.

there is actually a lot of data to suggest a "booster" that is different from the vaccine originally received actually provides better protection. Which would mean anything but Pfizer is the correct answer.
