1 Or 2 Vaccine Doses For People Who Had COVID?

[Baruch]

I have the same question. Frankly was not expecting such a strong reaction, and if the second one were expected to be this bad, I would have serious doubts about taking it (had covid already, so possibly one shot is enough).

We have a month to figure it out. If you come across any data on this, pls post, as will I bl"n

At this point, why would anyone who previously had Covid-19 take more than a single dose of the vaccine?

The only reason (at least compelling one IMHO) is to have the vaccine documentation for purposes of traveling etc.

Yup.
Other potential problem will be countries not recognizing your vaccination if you didn't take both doses within the timeframe.

Basically an extension of the same reason, you'd be taking the 2nd dose (on time) so you can travel.

In my wife's case she never tested positive for Covid, nor had any symptoms, just tested positive for antibodies once, so you have to add into the equation that maybe that test was a false positive. Or do you? I don't know myself how often they gave false positives.

So there's no reason to get it until and unless that becomes a reality. So far other than getting 2 doses in Israel, I haven't seen anywhere in the world where it would help. Hence postpone.

And how does anyone know if they have immunity?

I have herd immunity

Iceland

I doubt that's somewhere I would visit while I have young children at home.

Also, they might be European (i.e. slow), and maybe there won't be such a huge market, but CDC cards aren't really hard to manufacture.

So you go with the herd mentality to just do as told whether it makes sense or not.

Iceland

I can see it being the norm across the globe.

With the current CDC card? Wake me up when it happens.

Based on Iceland, may be too late by then
