Just Curious in Regard to 3rd Vaccinations.....
How many of you have already gotten them?
I've gotten mine, how many others here have?
= new reply since forum marked as read
Only very mild tenderness at injection site.
Got 3rd jab on 9/24, same day they became available here.
Then got flu, pneumonia & tdap 2 wks later. No real noticable doscomfort even having 3 that day.
I was watching data from Israel & was super happy to get booster! 
We know that vaccines are NOT a cure, we need to continue to mask up, as well.
No going to change that anytime soon!

You're right, Moderna hasn't been approved for a third, yet.
They seem to be holding up quite well, much stronger than Pfizer, which is great.
The last that I heard, Moderna was going to submit to the FDA in regard to a third in December.
So I drove to a CVS in the next county to get it. Appointments at the nearest CVS were completely booked at the time. I got shot #2 at the very end of March, so I'm not too worried.
Pfizer, it was. I just got my 3rd vaccination about a week ago.
One of my kids got Pfizer (just got his third) and the other Moderna as those are what the hospitals were offering.
My son that received the Moderna said those are holding up well for now and no need to worry, just continue to mask up, as usual.
He's expecting his 3rd sometime in December, hopefully.
I'm happy to hear that you're well. 
My brother is agoraphobic, does not like to leave the house, though he will go a few places if he really has to (doctor's appointments, prescription, vehicle inspection, getting gas) so he was reluctant to go out and get the vaccine. It took me awhile, but I worked on him, and when the large state run clinic at the nearby local mall started taking walk-ins, I jumped at the opportunity and offered to take him. He said he could make his follow up appointment on his own, but I showed up and took him to that one, too. 
And he got the Pfizer, but that clinic is no longer in operation. So I'm going to have to come up with a new plan - though he got shot #2 at the end of May... 
That's wonderful that you were able to to talk to your brother about getting vaccinated, that makes me happy to hear.
I've noticed (with all of the misinformation out there) that sometimes it only takes a bit of talking to, showing that we're okay after getting vaccinated and that's often all that it takes and then, they're willing. Many are just unsure and afraid.
When he's due for his next vaccination, check local drugstores (sign him up online) and they'll notify you both when he's due for his next vaccination.
Good job and I wish you both the best.
I can even remember getting vaccinations right in school, don't ask me what they were, but al the kids did. So what's so different about this one? Except that this virus is currently spreading globally and is highly transmissible. 
So my brother wasn't anti-vaxx, he just thought he didn't need it since he rarely went anywhere and didn't want to go anywhere if he didn't have to. I also brought him a KN95 mask early on, turns out he tried making his own. For the past year and a half, masks were mandated to enter any store or business here in New York - until this past July that is, just in time for "tourist season." Now only the unvaccinated are required to wear masks, leaving it to "the honor system." *sigh*
My brother isn't old enough to qualify for a third shot yet, nor does he have any other health qualifications, but I know from others where they offer the Pfizer (Walgreens), so I guess I'd better start working on him now. 
Nice job, DU'ers.
Remember.... continue to mask up.
I also got my flu shot, one shot in each arm. It's been almost exactly 12 hours now, and I feel fine, except both arms are sore.
Still masking up. (We have an indoor mask mandate in this state anyway.) I finally broke down and got some KN95 masks. Yes, I have been wearing cloth masks all this time, until now.
