1. If it was Moderna or Pfizer your immunity just took a major uptick

to around 55-80% (@10 days) data show.

Get your booster when assigned, and congrats! I get my booster on the 20th.

2. I have read it takes 10-14 days to build immunity..

Which is typical for most vaccines. I think the pfizer vaccine gives 50-60% immunity after the first dose and 90-95% after the second. I asked one of my docs if they will have the vaccines and he said he is not sure but to call in 2-3 weeks to see.

5. :) You're Superman. But better assume your immunity is trumped

by the new strain for some time to come. Apparently those infected throw off more virus particles AND the virus more aggressively colonizes the tissues and cells, usually through the nasal passages.

6. I work with Covid patients directly

literally dozens a day for months. I'm nit letting my guard down at all.

But I do feel a relief having gotten the 1st shot.
