You got the Pfizer, iirc.

Are they recommending any boosters for any of the other vaccines?

[bachophile]

@george-k everyone here got pfizer

there is a batch of moderna here which i think was being saved for children for some reason.

Any difference in formulation?

What, like it's kosher?

No I think it’s the same.

The delta tweaked version is in clinical trials and will only be approved in the winter.

[Jolly]

Has there been any proven correlation between antibody levels and susceptibility to infection?

For example, if a person has relatively high antibody levels, why a blanket booster for everybody over 60?

From my institution

Breakthrough correlates with antibody titer.

My titers have steadily been falling since my January vaccination but I’m still above the threshold for positive.

The start of a leadership board for “most vaccine shots received”?

BTW, any immune response?

Update.

Just did the bivalent in left arm (#five for me) and flu in the right arm. Feel like a fucking pin cushion.

I’ll let you know which arm falls off first.

[jon-nyc]

Did the bivalent take time to get approved/supplied there or are you just now getting around to it?

A few of us here get it in early September

[bachophile]

@jon-nyc we were notified Oct 1 that’s it’s here. Only now got around to it.
