I was all over getting my initial shots and first booster as soon as I could, but I’ve decided to go more slowly on the second booster. Given that we’re in a lull
and I’m not engaged in any particularly risky behaviors
and that we’re heading into better weather, I
think I might be better served by waiting until at least one of those factors changes. In other words, trying to time it for maximum personal efficacy, since immunity seems to drop fairly rapidly. Or maybe there’ll be a better shot if I hold out.
Dunno. There’s the argument for starting the clock ticking again by getting the shot now as we wait on new developments, too, and it’s not as if a better shot is imminent. And recommendations about getting this fourth booster are mixed. Don’t misunderstand me; I definitely plan to get it. I’ll get as many as they’ll give me. But while I’m still essentially in hunker-down mode, it seems as if it’s something I might like to keep in reserve.
