Yeah, I would not hesitate to get another shot or two. Especially since it is getting easier to do so.

Dose 3 scheduled at 10:45. A rite aid in the Bronx.

@jon-nyc, no word on T-cell and B-cell memories yet?
Sorry it looks like this makes you more dependent on others getting vaccinated, on herd immunity.

I’m in the waiting area now. Much more chill than in March at Javits. Lol

Jon, are you getting the same Pfizer shot, or have you considered mixing them up? I heard a discussion on the radio the other day that there's a theory that using different vaccines could increase their effectiveness. For obvious reasons, it's not something that was tested in development.

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.

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

The good news is that you can sell the extra Vaccination Card on the black market for good $$!
Seriously, thoughts and prayers are with 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?

Twenty days after shot three I was antibody negative on the Labcorp test. :((

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.
