I got the second primary pfizer shot today but the first shot was a year ago. the pharmacy said i don't need to start over, but is that true? i want to be protected but i'm confused on what to do. will this and the booster protect me from covid still?

What you were told from pharmacist is right because human immune system has an excellent memory. Be sure to get two booster doses for an adequate protection.

If I didn't get my second Covid shot until a year after my first one, do I need to start over? Do I just get the booster since it's been 2 months?

Hello, Im confused, is the updated covid booster ( new variant strain) available for everyone, or just immunocompromised at this stage? CDC/ local says recommended for immunocompromised at this point. Also, had covid in august, too soon for booster?
If you got the covid vaccine(both shots) but no booster does that mean that you are not protected because it waned? So, It would be like not never getting the vaccine in the first place. The booster is just the same thing trigger an immune response?
Senior citizen over 65 , fully vaccinated should get the booster dose or the 3 rd dose of COVID vaccine? Pharmacy saying it does not matter I think they are not the same?
Will having just the primary series (no 3rd shot) of Covid and a previous infection + masking help protect me from severe illness until I can get the boosters in 2 months? I have an autoimmune disorder?
