Do You Need a Booster Shot?

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Do You Need a Booster Shot? By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs Sarah Hyland of "Modern Family" has had multiple kidney transplants. That means she's immunocompromised because of the anti-rejection drugs she has to take and because her original condition strains her immune system. When she got her COVID-19 vaccine in March, she declared, "HALLELUJAH! I AM FINALLY VACCINATED!!!!!" Special: [Sitting Is Dangerous]( Now she sounds like a candidate for a booster shot, which is recommended for anyone who's moderately or severely immunocompromised. Unfortunately, many people don't know if their health challenges mean they should get a booster. Here are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines and definitions of moderately to severely immunocompromised, plus why it's important to act now. 1. Get a booster that's the same brand — Moderna or Pfizer — you got originally. 2. Wait at least 28 days after your second injection before getting a booster. 3. You qualify as immunocompromised if: • You've been receiving cancer treatment for a solid or blood cancer. • You’ve had an organ transplant and are taking immune-suppressing medication. • You’ve received a stem cell transplant within the past two years. • You are diagnosed with moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency. • You have an advanced or untreated HIV infection. • You are being treated with high-dose corticosteroids or any other immune-suppressing medications. 4. The booster increases your resistance to COVID-19 to a more robust level of effectiveness. And if you do contract COVID-19, the booster may help reduce the severity of symptoms. Don't compromise your health if you're immunocompromised. Check with your doctor about a booster today. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- Do you sit in a chair during the day?
