THE UK has begun launching its booster shot programme in a bid to stave off a third wave of infections ahead of winter. New data released by the FDA has highlighted which side effects are to be expected after receiving a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
A drop-off in antibody levels after a second dose of the vaccine has informed the recommendation of a third booster shot for over-50s and younger adults with health conditions in the UK. Invitations to book the third coronavirus vaccine will today be sent out to more than a million Britons in a bid to “strengthen the wall of defence” against COVID-19 created by the vaccine. Higher protection in vulnerable groups offers hope of avoiding a spike in hospital admissions during the approaching winter months. In new data submitted to the Food and Drug Administrations [FDA], Pfizer has outlined the different side effects to expect from a third dose of their vaccine.
Data submitted to the Food and Drug Administrations [FDA] shows that the side effects after the second dose of vaccine are more likely to affect younger people.
The latest statistics come from a study that drew data from 300 participants aged between 18 and 55.
Of the sample population, the researchers found that 63.7 percent of recipients experienced fatigue after getting their boosters.
A further 48.4 percent had headaches, and 39.1 percent experienced muscle pains. The majority of the recorded side effects ranged from mild to moderate.
Experts studying 306 booster recipients found that 44 of them developed an unexpected side effect, reported Texas Breaking.
The most unexpected side effect observed was the swelling of lymph nodes, which appeared in 16 of the 306 participants.
Five percent of the study subjects who experienced swollen lymph nodes were women, the drugmaker said.
The side effect appeared within four days of the shot, and all but one case of the condition were considered mild.
When researchers compared these side effects with those of second-dose recipients, they noted the booster shot’s side effects were similar.
A prior study on second-dose recipients aged between 16 and 55 had found that 61.5 percent developed fatigue, 54 percent suffered headaches and 39.3 percent had muscle pains.
The FDA has not yet commented on the findings submitted by the drugmaker.
Pfizer’s application to administer a third dose of its vaccine to people 16 and across the US was voted against by an advisory committee for the FDA.
Committee members on the advisory panel for the FDA expressed scepticism that Pfizer had provided adequate data supporting the need for the boosters in the general population in the US.
The panel argued that there wasn’t enough data on the safety of booster shots among younger people, who are more susceptible to side effects from the vaccines such as myocarditis.
The panel thereafter voted to limit the use of boosters among populations that are more at risk of breakthrough infections.
Happy to help.
Keep boosting!
Lol.
If I suddenly stop posting....wellllllll......

Agreed...
I should put a disclaimer...
There are some great sources...OAN, NewsMax, RAV, and independents like Revolver, Nat. Pulse, etc.
Just the Pravda media is so accessible that sadly way too many people go to them for “news”...ABC, NBC, Jimmy Kimmel(yuck), WAPO and USA Today, etc.
Hope you are well :)
Don't succumb to The Clot Shot, if you please.
I think I’ll be alrig....................................................................................
How can the CDC override the FDA?

Your report is what you call the extent of their long term study.
Wonder how many will go from swollen lymph nodes to lymphoma?
The use of that damn air gun was terminated after HIV/AIDS showed up.
"I drank plutonium 232 60 hours ago and am still here proving it's safe."
"I smoked 6 packs of cigarettes 60 hours ago and am still here proving smoking is safe."
"I drank lead 60 hours ago and am still here proving it's safe."
"I crossed a busy interstate blindfolded 60 hours ago and am still here proving it's a safe practice."
LOL!
I didn’t get the jab, had COVID, been directly exposed to MANY people with “COVID” after the fact and I’m still here.
Difference using an analogy... I didn’t jump out of a perfectly good airplane (that has a 99.87% chance of staying aloft), with an experimental parachute, developed by companies with histories of many faulty products, who then rushed this product to the masses for test, package by unknown individuals, with proprietary materials, coupled with unknown flight characteristics and no repercussions of failure or personal injury!
Logical conclusion... my chances of living are far better staying on the damn plane.
It wasn’t an accident.
None of it has been an accident.
Almost time for your booster.
LOLOLO!!!
LOL great wit!
