    Thought about Moderna and discussed it with a few docs. They thought a Pfizer booster would be better.

      The theory is that two different vaccines is a bit like showing your immune systems two different profiles of the same face. It made sense to my totally uneducated brain, but those damn doctors probably know better.

      I was only joking

        Well, they just thought that, since the Pfizer response is dose dependent, it would be the most straightforward way.

            6 weeks after shot 2. Sigh.

            Decent box, decent test.

            Hope the next shot works better for you...

                Hopkins' summary of second shot data is out in Jama today.

                Summary: the percentage of people showing an antibody response jumped from ~15% to ~54%. Though the response levels were quite a bit below immunocompetent people.

                All in all decent news, and gives me hope for my 3rd shot.

                  @jon-nyc , just curious if there's been any more optimistic development with regards to your antibody response or T-cell memory or whatever. How has it been since the 3rd shot?

                          Tuesday I go to my friend’s lab at Columbia and she’s going to test for T cell response and check actual antibody titers, neither of which are offered commercially from what I can tell.

                                Wish I could give him a few. I ran mine yesterday and they were almost 10,000 units. Positive is over 1000. I ran them on an Atellica IM platform. It's a total antibody test, so may not be as good as Jon's friend's test. Does have the advantage of ten minutes box time.

                                I don't think docs utilize the test as much as they need to, especially in older, vaccinated patients. But that gets into the vaccination/T-cell debate...
