3rd Shot Questions

[mcppalmbeach]

My mom and dad got their second dose on 2/16. They should be due for their third on 10/16. My dad is planning on going with my family via plane to my fil’s wedding. We leave on 9/30. Unless I can talk him out of it, which I kind of would like to do. Do we think there will be a problem with him going mid-September to get his 3rd dose at around month 7? I know only one person who has already had their 3rd and they were not asked any questions (they have an autoimmune). I also kind of want them to get moderna (their first was Pfizer)..that’s ok right?

My 80 year old FIL (and his 99 year old MIL) just got his booster, his second was end of January. He is not particularly immunocompromised other than his age, so I *think* your dad would be okay?

I saw something about this earlier today...

"Fauci told MSNBC on Thursday that getting your third shot too early won’t allow your body time to adapt to the vaccine.
“If you get a prime and then a booster ... you get the maximum effect of a late boost if you give the immune system a chance” to adapt to the vaccine, he told MSNBC."
