... Pressure continued to mount as other countries, including France and Israel, approved boosters for those who are immunosuppressed. Without official action, patients have also taken matters into their own hands.
The CDC estimated that more than 1 million people who have received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine have gone back for an unauthorized booster shot.
The estimated 1.1 million, included in an internal CDC briefing document reviewed by ABC News, likely is an undercount because although it counts Moderna and Pfizer shot recipients, it ignores people who may have received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine but got another shot.
MORE: At least 1 million people got unauthorized booster shot It’s also unclear whether people who received a third shot did so under the direction of a doctor. Florida is among the states reporting the highest number of people opting for a booster shot, followed by Ohio, California, Illinois and Tennessee.
For Phil Canuto, who was left immunocompromised after a kidney transplant 19 years ago, the news of boosters on the horizon left him elated.
Canuto, who is from Akron, Ohio, had no immune response after two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The increasing spread of the delta variant and data showing that even vaccinated people can spread the virus has put him and his family members on high alert.
"I know a lot of transplant patients have been trying to get extra shots surreptitiously, lying to pop-up vaccination sites about their previous shots," he said, adding that this news will give patients the chance to make medically informed decisions with their doctors...

Hey, might as well kill them off while there’s a chance. /s
Approved? How about “authorized”.😠💉
Authorize another dose of a non approved vaccine?
Those of us who are immunocompromised have already been told we’re free to go get a “third shot.”
I guess I better run out and get the first two.

DeSantis unveils monoclonal antibody centers in Florida COVID-19 battle
A monoclonal antibody is a treatment that can help prevent the COVID-19 virus from attaching to host human cells. Medical workers can provide this treatment to patients who are 12 years or older, according to the news release.

“Monoclonal antibody treatments such as Regeneron have had a major impact in preventing hospitalizations & saved lives,” DeSantis wrote in a tweet. “We are utilizing monoclonal antibody strike teams to bring treatment directly to our vulnerable populations in long-term care facilities.”
Lose weight! Being fat is a series of choices; and it ends with you being very much more at risk for COVID-19. Start making better choices. Your body is a temple of the Lord. Don’t grow it into a cathedral.
I want to see the data! Where is it? They got this new authorization based on secret data. What does it show?!
Communists are big on eugenics.
I have a friend in his 30s who received a double lung transplant a couple of years ago and he was bragging that he got the 3rd shot(and a leg hasn’t grown out of his head) His wife is a nurse and she loves the vax. I thought it was in poor taste to continue to make fun of people who are hesitant because we have actually seen the deaths and side effects in thousands from the vax. We shall see how it all turns out.
I received my third Pfizer shot today with my Dr’s instruction
Same stuff or differen? Revised formula to deal better with more recent “variants”?
Who wants a third shot of a vexxine that has no more mojo (if it ever had any)?
Yeah, right? Uhh...no.
I already got the ‘rona. Almost 4 weeks in the hospital. Now I’m recovering at home. I might get the J&J. Any boosters will be the Novavax.
At this point, this is an endemic illness. I figure, like the flu, having it will protect for a pretty long time, but like the flu, you can get it more than once.
I take flu vaccines every year. Why not this?
Just no weird invasion of the body snatcher mRNA jabs.
And yet you’re still a superspreader
3rd time’s the death shot
