@benlam11 I was about to ask you the same question. This is the first I have heard of a 4th shot, I would be happy to get the third one but since it is against the advice of my hospital I wonder what it might do to my standing there.
As I have mentioned before, I do have some immunity, I just don't know how much protection my number provides. I am very tempted to get a third one myself but for now I will wait. The Delta variant is very concerning though.

My Hospitalization info comes from a nurse that works in the Covid ward. Sine I live in Las Vegas, we get hundreds of thousands of tourists each week, making the spread inevitable. Especially with only about 50% of locals vaccinated. I also have not been able to visit overseas family in 2 years. So (on my own) I will attempt to get immunity, especially since I feel our FDA nor MAYO does not seem to be leading research. So my only option seems to be JH (who is investigating a third shot).

In Las Vegas we now have a Delta+ variant. It is concerning that it may bypass the vaccines. There have been several vaccinated people that have caught Covid after the packed Hockey playoffs. I just know the infection rate is increasing daily - now over 5, when it was down in the low 3's.
