Any recs for the third booster?

[bif]

Is any one more effective? I'm going to get my third one this week.

[we can do it]

1. Get one.

[FoxNewsSucks]

2. I got the Moderna simply because that's what my other two were

I haven't seen any proof as to which might be better, or if it would be better to get a different 3rd.

No matter what, it's far better to get it than not.

3. Haven't heard that one is better than the other; just get one.

4. Either one. No evidence of a head to head advantage for Moderna v Pfizer.

Mixing them up (as I did for ONE of my prior boosters) may have a minimal advantage, but it is probably a wash at this point. Just do it (with influenza) and soon. Influenza is already spreading rapidly across the country and COVID will undoubtedly peak this winter again.

5. Rec'd

6. Got all Modernas, never a problem with any, !ast new formula dose was months ago, why u waiting?

7. My pharmacist recommended Pfizer to go with my previous Moderna. I've known her for

almost 20 years, personally and at work.

She said either way, change it up to get as little wider range of coverage.

8. I had Moderna for all my shots.

Including bivalent booster. Moderna has higher mRNA concentration vs Pfizer.
I figured I could use more mRNA.

9. im sure no one here has more than a subjective opinion.

Ive had 5 Pfizers and only mild sore arms.

I did have a mild case of the covid a couple months back.

Im trusting the 'science' is good and it is doing good work and not prone to any future side effects.

10. Left arm

although I hear right is pretty good also.

[csziggy]

19. Wish I'd gotten mine in my right!

I sleep on my left side and it's just a bit sore as of last night. Got the third Pfizer booster on Thursday. It's what Walgreens had, so that's what I got. Flu shot was three weeks ago.

Get your vaccinations, whatever and whenever you can!

[msfiddlestix]

11. I got my third Moderna last week

I have to say, vaccines and boosters, it's all been good, never a negative reaction. and knock on wood, haven't contracted covid.

got the annual flu shot the day before.

I'm feeling fine for what it's worth.

[Paper Roses]

12. Got Pfizer (3rd) in one arm, Flu in the other.

No side effects.
Get both now! This is not over folks.

[dweller]

13. I've had all Pfizer so far

But my dr recc’d the Moderna to “widen the immune response”
The pharm aide who gave me the Moderna said there was some truth to that strategy and had read about it also …
So whatever you had before, get the other … or just get any !

14. i got Pfizer this time, it's what they have at Walgreens.

The other times I got Moderna, so I thought why not switch up this time? My arm didn't hurt nearly as badly as it did with the last booster and no other side effects except a reduction in worry. I also got the flu shot at the same time, so doubly protected.

15. My pharmacist recommended Moderna

For all the shots. She said it is slightly more effective than the Pfizer shot. It just a percentage point or two different, but it might give you the edge. Either one is a good choice. I suspect the biological variations between each person would make up for those slight differences.

Would you rather I give you $95 or $96? That’s really how trivial the difference is.

16. I've been getting Moderna all along.

Had my third booster about a month ago. No discomfort at all the next day.

[bif]

17. I was waiting because I got my second booster at the end of June

Right before my daughter's wedding. Going to get the third one and the flu shot at the same time. Probably later today or tomorrow.

[peggysue2]

18. My husband and I went Pfizer all the way

Including our 3rd booster. Got the flu shot at the same time. We had mildly sore arms at the end of the first day, then . . . nothing.

Good luck!

20. The big difference seems to be the dose.

Pfister is a 30 microgram dose (split 50/50 between old and new variants), where Moderna has 50 micrograms (also split 50/50).

The evidence seems to suggest a greater antibody response with the higher dose of Moderna.

21. I got mine last month

Had the same reaction - 24 hrs of ugh. I've read that this one is very effective against current strains.

[zuul]

22. I've had all three.

First J&J, then Moderna, and my last booster was Pfizer. I didn’t have much of a reaction from any of them, just a sore arm. And I’ve never had Covid, so who knows about the efficacy.

My advice: take whatever is available and if you have multiple choices, get whichever is most convenient for you. Good luck!

[iemanja]

23. I think the Pfizer is the one modified for the more recent strains of COVID

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

24. Got my moderna shot around a month ago. Little sore arm

for one day and that was it.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. I prefer the left arm, but I'm right-handed.

I got the Moderna, and got the geezer hi-dose flu vaccine at the same time. Both in the left arm. No problem.
