Other than that, just that the normal delay between a second and third Pfizer shot here is six months.

Thank you for your reply. I have seen similar statements, including "no hurry", presumably because the person should get some immunity when had the omicron variant. In any case, still some time before third shot following the 6 months interval regulations from various health authorities.

With regard to the above graphic trying to decipher as regards myself looking for 4th vaccine...

Do you have to wait 3 months between vax 3 & 4(if SV Astra Astra)?

It says you do between 2& 3 but nothing about 3 & 4(or rather that's what my Google lens app says)

Ps My mor prom app says I had an appointment 9th February??

According to the graphic: SV/AZ/AZ <- 3 months -> AZ.

Having read several reports and studies, the short answer to a 2nd booster is that nobody knows.

It's true that nobody knows for sure, partly because we just can't predict the future but for me, the main takeaway from all those articles is the statement that:

"There is no data to support the generalized use of a fourth dose of the vaccine beyond the immunocompromised"

No data or no data yet?

Given the choice i think I'd rather have one than not.

But I understand why some would feel unnecessary and if they have only had three it wouldn't stop me having a beer with them.

I know someone who is anti vax and I avoid him!

"No data" means what it says. There is, as it stands, no available data that definitively indicate the necessity for a fourth dose for any except the clinically vulnerable. This despite there having been plenty of studies done already.

As I pointed out earlier, no-one can predict the future but many articles I have read point to the well-known phenomenon of affinity maturation taking place in the immune system. This basically means that even as antibody levels decline, the antibodies improve in efficacy and become better able to handle both the existing variants and any future variants that might arise.

In addition, the B and T cell response (which is often overlooked when assessing levels of immune perfection) also becomes more mature and more potent.

The NY Times article below explains this rather well. As it points out:

A flurry of new studies suggests that several parts of the immune system can mount a sustained, potent response to any coronavirus variant.

The title of the article is:

Got a Covid booster? You probably won't need another for a long time.

A growing number of scientists have opined that further boosters might not be needed for another four or five years at least, possibly longer.
