We got our Moderna booster shots at the supermarket pharmacy a couple days ago. Nothing to it, the pharmacist yakked all the time he was giving us the shots. The Moderna is a 1/2 dosage shot.
You can make appts online or just walk in most places.
 

According to insurance companies, I have an underlying medical condition and am high risk. I have a torn meniscus in my knee. Actually, my hypoxemia probably qualifies me moreso. I forget about that sometimes because as long as I get eight hours of sleep and then about a two hour nap, it doesn't bother me, and I've been able to do that since I retired.

So I guess I'm eligible for the booster shot.
 
Boosters, in our rural area, won't be available until Mid-November....a couple weeks from now. We'll probably wait until after we get together with all the kids for Thanksgiving, then get our Moderna boosters between the holidays.
 
Still wondering if anyone here has tested antibodies to see if a booster is needed... Boosters aren't available for everyone ....vaccines aren't in many parts of the world. Why get it if you don't need it and are taking away something someone else does need?

Those previously infected who have been vaccinated should have excellent, long-lasting immunity according to Israeli data.

When I was at my Drs office this past Monday. I as him to look at the Blood test I had done 3 days before just for him. He go on his computer & looked at all the ?? in my blood work. Said my creatine was high along with my CKD. So I have to have another B.T. in a month for him.

He did say the antibodies in my blood are at 94% so I don't need any more Conav-19 shots. That was with just one Maderna shot way back on Jan. 12th of this year. That's the one that put me in the hospital.

He did say if I was not so old they would be asking me to donate my blood to use for other people??

Wonderful news, @Tom, that you have protective antibodies! Does CCKD have an extra C in the post above ...maybe CKD for Chronic Kidney Disease? Asking because you mentioned elevated creatinine which is consistent CKD. If so, I worked for nine years in dialysis (am a Registered Dietitian and traditional dialysis has a strict diet).. If you ever need to vent, encouragement, PM me.

Thanks for catching that. IT's supposed to be CKD. I went back & changed it.

Thanks for the info on dialysis. I'm an old farm guy that had meat, potatoes & very few vegetables all my life. So as I've told my Dr. I'm too old to change now. :D

Many people are programmed to believe "The More, The Better" when it comes to drugs, vaccines, medical tests, etc.

When you go to the dentist to build that bridge, ask him not to use any Benzodiazepines, Nitrous oxide or Corticosteroids. Tell him you prefer he uses a pair of pliers and knock you out some other way ( I have a few suggestions), because you want no poison in your system. Mort de rire!!

Ah.......the French words are back. I'm impressed - at how confused you are. (désorienté)
I didn't get any Benzodiazepines, Nitrous Oxide or Corticosteroids for my dental surgery yesterday. I only got a local anesthetic without Epinephrine.
You're also confused about who considers drugs "poisons." When did I ever say that?

@Shero What an excellent strawman!

Take a 'more' quote and reply with a 'none' example lol.
 
I received my Moderna booster around three hours ago, not even pain at the injection site yet. Will update if I have any side effects tonight or tomorrow.
