We had Moderna for our two vaccinations, therefore, we were given the Moderna booster, however, we were only given half dose for the booster.

Those who had taken Pfizer for their vaccinations are given Pfizer booster, but a full dose.

We only have the two vaccinations in Switzerland, Pfizer & Moderna.

I just have a sore shoulder, but the wife has a full body joint aches, headache and a little temperature today.

Being boosted on Wednesday - Moderna for me.

My boy, who is a molecular biologist and who has been involved in developing antibody tests and a various antibody based treatments, (and been shown/interviewed on national TV where he lives, for his work) reckons that Delta has 6 changes, against the Alpha Variant and Omicron has 32. The result is that current Alpha focussed vaccines are less effective.

Vaccines do have a downside - they helped the mother in law survive Covid.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I had Modena, too. There were just 4 chairs at the jab venue for that. Three rows of a dozen or so for Pfizer.

Seems it’s less fashionable.

It looks like I’ll be getting a Moderna booster even though my first 2 were Pfizer.

Here the booster jab will be same as the first two vaccination type.
