Werk 13,166 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Pfizer to ask FDA to authorize booster dose of COVID vaccine as Delta variant spreads "The Pfizer vaccine is highly active against the Delta variant," Dolsten said in an interview. But after six months, he said, "there likely is the risk of reinfection as antibodies, as predicted, wane." Dolsten said that early data from the company's own studies shows that a third booster dose generates antibody levels that are five to 10-fold higher than after the second dose, suggesting that a third dose will offer promising protection.' https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pfizer-ask-fda-authorize-booster-dose-covid-vaccine-delta-variant-spreads-2021-07-08/?taid=60e76f8cbcdfda0001963fd7&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter List of countries that are administering 3rd dose: US France Bahrain (Sinopharm x2 + Pfizer) Dominican Republic (Astra Zeneca x3 / Sinovac x3) UAE (Sinopharm x2 + Pfizer) Turkey ( Coronavac x2 + Pfizer/Sputnik x1) Considering: Indonesia Philippines (AZ x2 + Moderna x1 / Sinovac x2 + Moderna x1) Thailand (Sinovac x2 + Pfizer x1 / AZ x2 + Pfizer x1) Germany Spain Israel Cambodia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The govt resorted to Sinovac, which afaik is significantly less effective, despite BILLIONS of debt. I hate it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadreMonster 2,584 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Wonder how they’ll give these out? Will they do phases again or just have it open to anyone? Is it the same vaccine or will they change the formula a bit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the same vaccine or will they change the formula a bit? As far as I can tell they're just asking relevant authorities if they can give a third shot, so they'll probably set a timeline of like 4-5 months after your last 2nd dose so you can get this third one. Your vaccine card w/ the correct date will probably get you "in line". This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
