The Boosters Business

Now, it is starting to circulate that people who had their full shots of vaccines will need to have boosters. I am not sure the full details if the mutants need to pay them. Oh, well! It seems the ugly truth shed this principle, "Business is a business." How about at your world? Are they still for free?

Janssen was not approved here, we only have Pfizer and Moderna and YES, the vaccine is free and the third shot will be free.

I heard that Janssen is being questioned by WHO. I am not so sure about it though. The reason is why to vaccinate people once only.

@Shavkat J&J did not pass the tests here, it was not considered safe and did not protect enough.

@LadyDuck I am sure that they need to explain their sides about this concern.

A tax of USD 1 is being levied on fuel/diesel over here which will be used for the purchase of vaccines

I guess it is also the same thing here. I am not sure if they are still free in my country though. How about in your country?

If it is true, I am not sure if we are going to pay it or not. I wondered how much it will cost.

Testing and trails are still ongoing, despite the fact the FDA has approved Phizer . That being said, data will continue to come in and science will change. So it is no surprise that boosters are being called for, because they've figured out (well after adminstering thousands of doses as "emergency use' that it doesn't last as long in the body. Boosters are recommended for now in the 65 and above range.

That is something new to ponder that the boosters are recommended to the age group 65 and above. My mom would freak out with this information.

I also heard that it is ideal to have the booster every after 6 months.

During the pandemic, the local news in my country keeps on saying those unprioritized people will pay for the vaccines.

Our humongous population still isn't fully vaccinated yet, so the talk of boosters is a far away dream.

I do agree that all vaccines' brands are not a hundred percent effective.

It sounds like you had late shots of the vaccines there. Am I right?

A booster is you need to have the vaccine again every 6 months. It depends on what vaccine that you had.
