the rule of thumb that you should have six months between your shots, when ever your last covid shot was whether moderna or johnson & johnson, you are due for a booster, is that the rule of thumb? if it s j&j, it s two months after because the j&j likely should have been. moderna and pfizer, six months. the reason it is because we want to give immunity response a chance to mature. by mature, we mean the cells that make the antibodies, as you give them a few months, it gets much stronger. the second question, we don t know. we are hoping that booster shot given the increase - mainly have
