A member asked:
Saw a tv commercial that said if your last covid vaccine was 6 months ago, it's time for another vaccine. would that include the immunocompromised who got their 5th vaccine in september or have we been forgotten? my 5th pfizer vaccine was on 9/9/22?

Please consult with your regular physician on this issue. Experience with this disease and the vaccines have shown both the natural disease and vaccines may confer limited duration of immunity. Those in high-risk categories should have a long term plan with their doc on when to receive vaccines and when to report symptoms of potential breakthrough infection.
