If you are taking any immune suppressing drug, which corticosteroids are, you are eligible to get a third dose of the vaccine. Do not call it a booster shot because because that is for a different group. Yours is a 3rd dose for the immunocompromised. Check cdc.gov under Covid vaccines or immunocompromised

Thank you for your reply. I was under the impression that the CDC recommended a 3rd shot for people who were taking greater than 20mg prednisone per day.
That would leave most of us off the list.
So we continue down a shady lane of uncertainty. I have no idea of how well my 2 Moderna shots are serving me right now.
We in Canada are still waiting for the nod on a 3rd vaccination, immunocompromised or not.
Consequently I will be staying safe with the drawbridge up for the moment with the exception of a few rounds of golf, 2 meters apart.
