A fourth shot of the COVID-19 vaccine may be in your future, but it’s too early to tell right now, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“Before we start talking about a fourth shot, it will be very important for us to determine the durability of protection, particularly against severe disease for the third shot booster of an mRNA and the second shot of a J&J,” Fauci said. “Right now, we don’t have that information.”
Fauci said that COVID-19 cases are still surging throughout the country. More protection — which would mean more booster shots — may be needed to fight off the omicron variant.
“It is conceivable that in the future, we might need an additional shot, but right now, we are hoping that we will get a greater degree of durability of protection from that booster shot,” Fauci said. “So we’re going to take one step at a time, get the data from the third boost and then make decisions based on scientific data.”

It was “Oh, ok”. It was the the pharmacist that supplies some of my meds from the hospital that did my transplant. She explained that every six months she has to call and touch base and see how I’m doing. This was back in early November. She was pretty nice about it, just told her I really didn’t think it was necessary. I wonder if they are getting a lot of pushback on this.
Interesting.
Especially that she didn’t or couldn’t give you an actual reason.
