Arguably better than 3 straight Pfizer doses if the studies are to be believed.Getting a Moderna after 2 Pfizer doses. Thats good right?
Should be fine. Except for the bit where they come and punch you in the arm the next day of course.Getting a Moderna after 2 Pfizer doses. Thats good right?
I'm used to that.Should be fine. Except for the bit where they come and punch you in the arm the next day of course.
I had Pfizer again for my booster.Getting a Moderna after 2 Pfizer doses. Thats good right?

That’s what I have just gotten too.Getting a Moderna after 2 Pfizer doses. Thats good right?
Got that a few weeks ago. Arm was sore that’s about it. Glad I have since we have a few anti- vaxxers in my company.Getting a Moderna after 2 Pfizer doses. Thats good right?
It's been through clinical trials in the UK, as part of a series of booster trials run during the summer. Basically, it worked great to get antibody levels up and it pushed the immune system memory cells to give a wider response as well.
It hasn't been used in the UK because AZ is not a good booster for AZ - and a lot of our over 40s (the original priority group) have had AZ as their first two doses. We weren't using AZ with the under 40s (just Pfizer and Moderna), and Pfizer seems to boost itself ok.
From what we know so far, using AZ to boost Pfizer should work fine.

I think so. Unfortunately, I had the booster yesterday and will fly tomorrow, so didn't risk switching from Pfizer to Moderna, especially knowing that Pfizer didn't give me any affects except a sore arm (and the same for the third one).Arguably better than 3 straight Pfizer doses if the studies are to be believed.
2nd hand but apparently the civic centre in ballymun has got a load of boosters.I’ve heard of other people getting done there, not only people from the area.Anyone in Ireland have any ideas how I can get a booster in Dublin (Northside) without waiting for 3 or 4 hrs at Croker or the Show Centre?
Mates of mine all seem to be getting appts from their GP for this week. I have the wrong one it seems as I was sent a text to an online portal but they'd no appts until late Jan.
I've put myself on a few pharmacy waiting lists for the crack but heard nothing yet. I understand things are getting critical with Omicron but the way they've gone about this booster lark seems a bit slap-dash.

For what its worth I had my 3rd Pfizer dose and was in a bad state. But I also also picked up covid around the same time so that might have been itI think so. Unfortunately, I had the booster yesterday and will fly tomorrow, so didn't risk switching from Pfizer to Moderna, especially knowing that Pfizer didn't give me any affects except a sore arm (and the same for the third one).
I guess I'll get Moderna as fourth dose in 5-6 months.
Are people really debating which brand of booster they should treat themselves to
Just get it! Some folk don't have access to the vaccination program as readily, let alone their booster.
Yeah, first world problems. There’s zero evidence any mRNA booster works better than any other anyway. Just take what you’re given, folks.
No worries. My wife mentioned it in passing as news of her work app, as a load were having trouble like yourself and apparently Ballymun sorted them no quibble with not much wait time. That might change since everyone’s been sharing!Thanks man.
I've been checking wait times and it seems to be easing off a bit. HSE reported was no queue in Swords today with about half an hour left of the 8 - 11:00 slot.
I'll keep an eye on the afternoon session and might pop down there is it's looking good.
I had the option to choose between Moderna and Pfizer, to be fair. Same for other people, which is why we are discussing.Yeah, first world problems. There’s zero evidence any mRNA booster works better than any other anyway. Just take what you’re given, folks.
Thanks for that, so the figure is as low as 19% with double vaccinations. But I guess we just don't have the figures for post booster yet.
Edit: just had this pop up in my 'news' feed. Funny how it knows exactly what I'm thinking.![]()

'Just take what you’re given, folks' makes no sense when they ask you which one you want to take. I guess I would have confused the shit out of them saying, 'just give me whatever you want dude'.
I just didn't want to get sick and potentially miss my flight cause I am proposing to my girlfriend in a few days. Pfizer didn't give me any effects for the first two, so I just made that bet that it won't make me sick again (and it worked, though likely it would have been the same for Moderna).That’s weird. If I was given that choice I’d opt for a different booster to the one one I had for the first two doses.
I hope she don’t read your Redcafe’sI just didn't want to get sick and potentially miss my flight cause I am proposing to my girlfriend in a few days.

In normal circumstances, I might have switched, although there are no conclusive studies either way.
Yeah same! I’ve had no problems each time and I’ve changed to Moderna today and so far so good.No side effects from my 3rd Pfizer this morning yet other than a bit of a dull arm. Hoping I’ve escaped anything uncomfortable for a third time.
Yeah it was like that where i went on the weekend tooWhy are walk in queues quicker than appointment queues ffs
Initial data from the UK suggests that efficacy against infection is around 75% (that means you're 4 x less likely to catch it compared to someone who is unvaxxed). If someone does catch it, the odds of it converting into severe disease will be lower as well, but we don't have numbers for that yet.Is there any data on the efficacy of the 3rd booster (pfizer) against Omricon?
Chuffed to hear now my whole family have had their 3rd booster but worried about Xmas mixing. Deferred any plans to watch Spiderman or Matrix 4![]()
It's very good. So is AZx2 + Pfizer or Moderna. So is Pfizerx2 + Moderna etc. Lab tests (on trial volunteers) showed those patterns all work really well. Real world statistics are confirming that all the approved combinations work brilliantly against delta and are doing a good job against omicron as well.Do we know what the best combo for the booster is, or isn’t there much difference? I’m on 3x Pfizer.
Ah that’s good then. Here’s hoping we don’t need to have a fourth!It's very good. So is AZx2 + Pfizer or Moderna.

To be honest the JCVI had no reason to lie about this and they say they're good to go.![]()
