1. I don't think it will be that fast...

if anything it will come in stages, with elderly and immuno-suppressed first and the rest to follow.

But not "everyone" all at once.

[SheltieLover]

2. Agreed

Israel is already doing boosters for the vulnerable.

Stay safe! 😷

12. No, not all at once

3. My son is in the Pfzier booster trial

He got a shot on Monday and he thinks that he got a shot with the vaccine and is not in the control or placebo group. His arm hurt a bit more than when he got his second shot last August and he ran a fever for three days.

The key thing is that he is not scheduled to go in for blood work until February of next year.

4. How high of a fever

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. It got up to 99.9 degrees

The fever broke with a combo of NSAIDs and aspirin

8. It sure sounds like he got the real deal and not placebo.

11. During the original trial he got an antibody test to see what group he was in

My son knew that he was in the vaccine group and acted surprised when they “unmarked” him

[LisaL]

7. February?

What are they waiting for?

[GPV]

14. Such a long wait

[LisaL]

6. No clue.

Meanwhile Israel is already giving boosters to people over 60.

[GPV]

15. Wish we were too

9. And, please, when can kids be protected?

We're about to toss them into a bowl of Delta soup.

[LisaL]

10. Not any time soon.

Both Moderna and Pfizer were told to expand their trials for children under 12, which means including more children and doing more testing.

13. In 1955 I was 6 years old when I received the polio vaccine. I looked up the schedule* for

the polio vaccine and the first dose should be given at 2 months of age, the second dose at 4 months of age. What is wrong with us that we can't vaccinate EVERYONE against covid?

16. They have to do trials to work out dosages for little guys

[abqtommy]

18. This brings me back to my original question: what's wrong with us?

[Maru Kitteh]

17. Elderly and immunocompromised before the end of this year, the rest of us

next year sometime, possibly as late as flu season, imo. Possibly even later.

NO data I've seen yet support a booster for non-compromised adults.
