2. Are there kid size doses for the children? (Yes, FDA panel has said the benefits still outweigh the risks for children getting vaccinated for kids ages 5 to 11.)
3. In the future, fully vaccinated folks might not be considered such w/out a booster? (This is why the CDC considers you fully vaccinated w/ the original 2 shots. This might change, but it is not the case right now.)
4. Might we eventually need a 4th shot? (Probably, especially for folks w/ added exposures, but this population will be small.)
5. Is there such a thing as getting your booster TOO SOON? (Kind of confusing. Should get it 6 months after the Pfiser first 2 shots. You get a very robust response to the booster.)
