I want to stick with Pfizer though. I wonder if they will do the same for Pfizer jab. Probably at some point.

I’m scheduled for my booster in exactly 1 hour from now, I leave in 1/2 hour. I will have had one of each offered in Canada. In order: AstraZeneca/Pfizer/Moderna(today).

If I remember correctly, Pfizer seems to provide the longest lasting reliability out of the 3 offered in the states, so I will probably just stick with it. We have J&J, Moderna and Pfizer here.

We don’t have J&J but it is essentially the equivalent to AstraZeneca. They are both Viral Vector vaccines.

I read this that says mixing and matching produces a better immune response according to a UK study.

I also read this on the BBC, which is the order I had my shots in…

the highest T cell response from AZ followed by Pfizer

Then I read this on Bloomberg about T cells and Omicron variant

T Cells Come to the Rescue as Studies Show They Buck Omicron

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-30/t-cells-come-to-the-rescue-as-studies-show-they-fight-omicron

Then of course the article I just posted above says Moderna as your last shot provides a better immune response, so I should be in good shape. Lots of T cells and antibodies, ready to fight off omicron and other variants.

Hey @everhopeful . The boss wants us to keep the “news” section reserved for schizophrenia related news only. So please make the next Covid thread, if you make it, in the lounge. I changed the category on the current one. Thank you.
