When it is approved, probably this week, they will suggest a booster 8 months +/- after your last Covid shot if there are no immunocompromising issues involved.
No clue where the 28 days comes from unless you have special medical immune system issues

Interesting. We do not currently qualify for the third shot yet, as our second shot was in March. I wonder if they are just allowing whoever wants it, to get it?? If so, I wouldn't mind getting it before our trip in October..

Latest third shot info linkFrom the above link: Here are key things to know about the booster dose roll-out and requirements:
Who is eligible for the booster shot? Fully vaccinated adults (18 years and older) who received two doses of an mRNA vaccine will be eligible.
When will people be able to receive an extra dose? Booster doses will be available starting Sept. 20, 2021.
How long after your initial vaccination do you have to wait? The booster dose will be administered to qualifying adults eights months after their second Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine. For example, if you received your second vaccine dose on Feb. 1, 2021, you would be eligible for a booster Oct. 1, 2021.
What about people who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine? US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said that he anticipates that those who received the J&J vaccine will also need a booster shot, but added that more data should come in the following weeks.

Scubaman--AGE is not the same as immunocompromised.. You are still supposed to wait eight months after your second shot, if not immunocompromised.

Yes I realize age has nothing to do with it. As I stated on my post "will get our 3rd as soon as they allow it". My 8 months will be in November but if they allow it earlier for me I'll get it. I'm 74 and my wife is 73 so we should qualify. But, you mentioned your age in a manner that implied it was a qualifying factor.

I heard on the news, this morning, that age will be added into the list of people who qualify along with the immunocompromised. Who knows..... The age is 18 and above....link and excerpt posted above I should add that the date in September when it will first be available is appropriate because they are still deciding if it will be the same as dose one and two or a booster geared towards the variants ...but in reality a month is not enough time to change the vaccine

As the Lurker posted, along with the original age protocols where age was part of qualifying for original jabs, my age WILL be a factor when it becomes available. Not looking for an argument.

Scuba....I stand corrected. The booster was APPROVED for all those 18+ years old BUT the DISTRIBUTION looks to be similar to the previous doses. Excerpt from a NYT article The first boosters would probably go to nursing home residents, health care workers and emergency workers, who were the first to be vaccinated last winter. They would likely be followed by other older people, then by the general population. Officials envision giving people the same vaccine they originally received. NYT article link
