Fearless prediction. The FDA will approve a third shot very soon especially for immunocompromised people. Pfizer got ahead of the curve by going public with the booster announcement before the CDC and FDA were ready to go public. But every indication is that "a reasonable man or woman" would consider it prudent to administer a third shot to immunocompromised people The FDA is very likely to approve Pfizer and Moderna permanently and get over that business. Despite what I'm reading here and elsewhere, one years and the enormous number of people who have received the vaccinations make for a convincing result. The pressure must be enormous with Delta and autumn approaching particularly with schools, universities, stadia and offices/hospitals.

@joko I was not aware that Pfizer had gone public with the knowledge that a third shot was beneficial. I had read the article by the cardiologist who had a third shot and also attended a zoom by Johns Hopkins where some people had gone ahead and gotten the third shot.

Honestly, if I didn't have to lie about it, I would get the third one now to give it plenty of time to develop antibodies.

The article mentions a couple of immunosuppressants that seemed to be more apt to inhibit acquiring antibodies. I am on sirolimus but it is not mentioned so I wonder if that could be why I did develop some antibodies.
