And if you have J&J, definitely mix it up for the booster.

My pharma said the booster of Maderna is a half dose unless you have one of those immuno-compromise conditions -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 15, 10:46

I had a Pfizer vaccine but a Moderna booster on Saturday and MAN it floored me yesterday. - Volnelk Nov 15, 09:55 15
- I had my 3rd Moderna shot on Wednesday and had absolutely no after-effects. Even the injection site was less tender than my flu shot. -- nm - Meg Nov 15, 10:07 1
  - My 3x Pfizer was the same. Zero effect -- nm - oblique Nov 15, 10:26

- I was pfizered prev and got modernaed and it kicked my ass for three days. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 15, 09:57 7
  - I've been putting it off because "I can't afford downtime from work right now." -- nm - Max Nov 15, 10:22 6
    - anecdotally, I think that switching is more "downtime causing" than is sticking with your orig. for what that's worth. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 15, 10:39 5
      - but most recommended, which causes me to wait, which results in me choosing the lesser of three options and going unboostered. - Max Nov 15, 10:43 4
        
        I think we honestly will be boosting every six months for basically ever. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 15, 10:47 3
        
        I"m ok with that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:50 2
        
        oh me too. my friend who is an MD says that he suspects that eventually a "mini booster" will be required to travel internationally - amanda jeans Nov 15, 10:53 1

- I got boosted before mix-and-match was a thing but I got 3X Pfizer. I would have gotten Moderna was booster given the option. -- nm - ty97 Nov 15, 09:56 1
  - The virologist said honestly it's kind of splitting hairs at this point. All boosters are good. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:48
Didn't 'the table' suggest Moderna if you got Pfizer or J&J previously, but Pfizer if you got Moderna previously? -- nm* - ty97 Nov 15, 09:51 6
- I didn't ask him about that, but I'm sure he would agree. He as said it's better to mix. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:43
- The one I saw had Moderna x 3 as the best followed by Pfizer x2 with a Moderna booster. -- nm - Krusty Nov 15, 09:53 4
  - This table was to help determine which booster to get. - ty97 Nov 15, 09:56 3
    - There is a flaw in that study that probably favors Moderna. - the wrong element Nov 15, 10:11
    - The one I saw said different for the booster. -- nm - Krusty Nov 15, 10:00 1
      - This. It's good to have a mix of antibodies. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:43
