    I have had three full moderna vaccines and became eligible for a booster five months after my 3rd full shot. There was confusion about whether I would get a fourth full shot or a booster. The CDC guidelines were vague so the staff at CVS pharmacy decided on the booster.

    Has anyone else experienced this dilemma?

    @dpmitnick That’s a good question. Maybe @ashleygregory757 has heard something about a 4th booster shot, but I have not heard any solid guidance. I’d be happy to take a fourth if deemed necessary, but neither the VA or the county I live in is going to offer it to me without FDA approval.
    COVID hospitalizations here are dropping quickly and I heard a news story yesterday from our large county hospital saying COVID admissions were down 67% over a period I can’t remember. Will this be an ongoing trend without the development of a new strain or other spike, who can say? For now I’m happy to have my third. Or whatever they deem prudent down the line.

    All, the link below is to an article from the Associated Press in today’s newspaper where I live. Very informative.  I am exploring Evusheld with my physician.

      @dpmitnick thanks for this updated CDC document showing 4th shot (booster) for the moderate to severely immunocompromised.
      It’s very helpful!
