A member asked:
Is asthma an underlying condition for a covid-19 booster?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Asthma comes in various intensities from unrecognized to stable only on 3 meds/d. I consider all asthma a chronic illness worth a booster but your local health authorities may consider only the more intense variants.

Agree with Dr. FErguson. If your institution/City/State allows the third dose for asthma, take it. Better safe than sorry. Wish you good health!
