Do you think people are crafting their own "boosters" by getting a different type of vaccination

[TomDaisy]

as in, if I got Pfizer, I'll sign up for Moderna and just get 3 (or 4) shots total.


Do you think people are doing this, and if so, is it smart or not so smart. Is it better to wait and see if there's new direction from CDC.

1. I believe there is a database with info about who has already been vaccinated.

3. Indiana sent an electronic link to a 'vaccination certificate'

which says that at least on a state level such data bases can (? do?) exist.

2. Don't

When the data suggests a booster is a good idea, that’s not going to be some kind of secret.

Over in Freeperville, they are eating horse meds off of crackers because of bright ideas on social media.

5. No, I don't think people are doing that.

6. No. Boosters haven't been approved yet so fully-vaxxed people need to be patient and keep

masking, distancing and sanitizing.

7. Not possible in the US.

Germany allows it. My daughter in Berlin got AstraZeneca for the first shot then Moderna for the second.

8. WHO just recommended not mixing vaccines unless told to

Said there have been no studies on doing this.

The World Health Organisation’s chief scientist has warned people against “vaccine shopping” whereby individuals decide to mix-and-match coronavirus vaccines themselves.

Soumya Swaminathan said people should follow all relevant public health advice before taking such decisions.

9. J&J is a different type of vaccine

compared to to Pizer's nMRA's but I have heard nothing about stacking them even though they act differently. There also does not seem to be much info on the long term effectiveness of the J&J vaccine, the bulk of information seems to focus on the nMRA vaccines.
