Moderna is stronger so there seem to be more symptoms when you get it.

I read initially Moderna was going with 50 micro grams in the booster, but I think I saw they decided to go full 100. Either way a single dose even at 50 contains just 10 micro grams less than both of the initial pfizer shots combined.

The primary shot(s) for Moderna is 0.5 mL with 100 mcg in it. The booster is 0.25 mL, so that would mean 50 mcg of the rna magic in it.

That's what I gathered from this: https://www.fda.gov/media/144637/download

I could be wrong though. Either way, now I understand why my wife was so under the weather after her Moderna shots.

Drunken Janitor · Dec 2, 2021, 07:20 PM

I got my 2 shots of Moderna 29 days apart back in May and June. I am scheduled to get a booster on December 9th. My wife gets hers on December 4th. I will let you know how it goes for us and if its a reduced dose or not. In Canada, its supposed to be a half dose.

Nascar24 · Dec 2, 2021, 07:34 PM

I felt a bit off for the following day after the Moderna booster. Could have been worse. I also had Phizer for the first 2.

12Bass · Dec 2, 2021, 07:38 PM

I'm hoping for a Moderna booster. If the side effects are any indication of immune response, the temporary suffering is worth it if it keeps you out of the hospital (or worse) when the virus inevitably infects you.

If that's the case my booster gave me all of it.

Three confirmed cases of Omi in the US. All mild and all were vaccinated. Omi don't care about our vaccines apparently, but so far it seems all cases are mild. I'm going mask off. Bring it on, I'm sick of this ****.

I'll slap that mofo on before I go into a store I'm sure. With my luck, I would be that model case where omi wrecked me with a booster shot already.

Agreed. The side effects are usually related to the immune response, so more side effects = greater immune response. I'm happy I responded, but not happy about the effects. Though in the long run, just like you said, if it means I don't die and stay out of the hospital I'll suffer for a day or two.

Preliminary research from South Africa suggests prior COVID infection offers little to no protection from Omnicron...

Payne3d · Dec 3, 2021, 08:44 PM

so apparently there's a doctor on youtube (john campbell) who disagrees with CDC's guidelines for immunization.

he said that the person administering vaccine shots should be drawing back on the plunger to make sure no blood comes out, which the CDC says is not necessary.

i'm wondering how many of you had the person giving the shot pull the syringe plunger to make sure the vaccine isn't going directly into a vein, or something.

Greasy · Dec 3, 2021, 09:20 PM

I blead on my first shot. Guess I have 1.5 shots then.

Java Cool Dude · Dec 3, 2021, 09:45 PM

Oooof, my wife did bleed a lot on her booster shot!

i mean this stuff can cause blood clots ...probably because it was administered incorrectly.

it's rare, but still.
why are they taking chances ?

The article you linked to is about AstraZeneca, an Adenovirus based vaccine.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc...h-59418123.amp

My wife and both took Pfizer for all three shots, besides extremely rare Myocarditis, renal failure and skin rash we run no risk of blood-clotting.

Can I sign-up to get the omicron variant?

Also, I believe this makes it also look promising that omicron may end the pandemic itself (although vaccination still seems to protect against more severe disease): Study: Omicron could be more transmissible due to sharing genetic material with common cold

I heard that's based on a certain scientific study, and that study turned to be garbage.

The doctor seems to be a good guy, it's not his fault.

It's just quality of published scientific papers gone really downhill these days.

Same here on Saturday.

Well my youngest kids (5 & 8) got their 2nd dose 2 weeks ago, which means my whole family is officially fully vaccinated now. That's good, since we're traveling to Hawaii next month.

Silent-Runner · Dec 6, 2021, 10:01 AM

getting our booster shots tomorrow, hope we're experiencing only mild side-effects this time.

Anime convention in NY with 53K people likely omicron spreader.

35K of them have been contacted and it may end up being a decent case study, fwiw.
