       Wife and myself got ourselves the third jab as an early Christmas present. ;-) Appointment for 9:00, done at 9:05. As always, staff at the vaccination center was efficient and friendly.Stay safe and healthy, people! 💉💉💉 #COVID19 #PositiveVibes

       @esureLWoh... Third? 😯 I'm curious. Did you get the same brand for all three jabs? #covid19 #vaccinesHere, we are expected to have 2 doses, about a month or so apart. Only then will they consider people "fully vaccinated". And it's the same brand. I'm scheduled to get my second shot next month.I've heard some got "booster shots" (a 3rd shot) and those that I heard about picked a different brand.

       @evelyn Yep, it's the “booster“ shot, but I don't like the term too much. I got my first jab in June, my second one in July and now the third one (exactly) five months later.Here, people usually get the same brand for the first two, unless there are problems (e.g. allergic reaction). The third one would usually be the same brand, but I need another post for this. 😅 👇

       @evelyn Regarding “boosters“:The science I've seen would suggest a (very) slight benefit in changing brands for the third jab. However, the latest recommendations for Germany have been to best apply Moderna to people older than 30. Given that we don't have enough BionTech for everyone, <30y and pregnant people get BionTech, >30y people get Moderna for their third shot, regardless of previous brands.So for us: I got Moderna 3x, my wife got Biontech x2 and Moderna x1.

       @esureL I see. That's interesting. Three of the same.Here, maybe because we have every imaginable vaccine brand, people want to try a different one for their 3rd jab. 😅
