Effectiveness against severe illness, however, held steady during the six weeks after the second Pfizer booster shot.

I think I will wait until a variant specific vaccine is released and since not eligible until June in any event, I have time on my hands.

I wasn't sold on the 3rd (or was it 2nd) booster. Glad to see there is some science to support my reluctance

My mom had the second booster (fourth dose) last Friday.

Looks like it should be a monthly shot.

Since it starts to wane at 4 weeks.

I wonder why it wears off so quickly.

I have a family member who takes a monthly shot for allergies.

So allergy shots don't last either.

Yeah, I’m sorry, but they should’ve just spent more time on a vaccine that actually works. I’m still not convinced that these shots have been the raving success they claim. I think a large reason for the down turn in severity is simply the virus has gotten weaker, which is what happens to every virus. To much conflicting information. Now the booster only gives you a month of protection supposedly? This is a poor deal.
