2025 Fall Booster: Get it or not?

Posted by greenshade @greenshade, Sep 30 4:05pm

I am in a quandary. I've had LC since 2022. I was fully vaccinated before my first infection. In Oct 2023, I got a Pfizer booster, and my symptoms flared up and set me back for months. I have avoided boosters since then. I am mostly well now (finally!), although I still experience some fatigue and joint pain. The question is: Do I get the 2025 fall booster or not? If so, do I receive the Pfizer booster in line with my prior vaccines and boosters? Should I go to Novavax instead? Is it less problematic? Any firsthand knowledge is appreciated. THX

I have Stage 4 COPD; have had COVID twice which truly did not help my lungs. I asked my Pulmonologist about the COVID vaccine and he suggested I not get it but get the flu shot. I've heard the COVID vaccines only add more problems.

@katpetlover It's interesting that your Pulmonologist suggested you not get the COVID vaccine. Most physicians are hesitant to take a stance on it. Thank you for sharing.

You might want to check with your doctor if Pemgarda would be available to you.
