Anybody know if you can volunteer for a 3rd

booster shot ?
I will if I can just to be sure I'm all vaxxed up.
I got the 2 moderna shots in April.

You don’t just sign up to ‘“volunteer” at this point in time. I am taking part in a study at UC where boosters and placebos are given. We are being monitored for 3 months. The researchers at this point are studying the efficacy of a 3rd Pfizer booster.
