MemberI got my fourth shot (2nd booster) this week. All four were Moderna. My 1st booster was 4 months ago in mid November. Except for one evening of fatigue after the first shot a year ago, in all cases my only post-shot symptoms have been shot-site pain and swelling.
I had gone to see an MD about getting my hernia fixed and asked on the side if they (Kaiser) were letting immunocompromised patients get a 2nd booster, as the CDC recommends. They basically said, “Sure, why not.” That was unexpected since Kaiser had not ever suggested to me, considering my MG dx., about getting the 2nd booster.
I now feel that I’m as vaccinated as a person can be, but will still continue wearing my N95 masks at ALL indoor locations except my home. I also avoid all outdoor events with crowds and all modes of motor transportation except my own car. The BA.2 variant is now surging here in So. California, having doubled in case numbers in just the past week. Be careful out there!
