Hi @nimalw. I had a third vaccine which is a little different from the booster. It was the full strength Moderna. My transplant team aggressively encouraged us to get the 3rd shot. I received mine in September. No side effects except a slight headache and a sore arm for 2 days. Good luck! I believe it's worth getting. Let us know.
