So when should I get my booster? I got my second shot April 9. I'm technically eligible now, since I have a BMI over 25.

I feel like I could go a few more months, but also feel like once they approve it for little kids and a booster for everyone 40+, it might get harder to get it.

Just go get it. I don't agree with your contention that there will be a supply chain issue 2 months from now when kids can get shots and the booster age is lowered but if that was the case, doesn't it make sense to get now when there's a glut of doses? Additionally, what is gained by waiting? Maybe your immunity level hasn't started to drop, but if not, what is harmed by going ahead and getting ahead of time?

I signed up for 11/2 at the local CVS.

But I'm working from home five days a week, not visting with anyone who is high risk, not eating or doing anything indoors other than a couple of masked concerts with fully vaccinated patrons until the end of the year. I'm still very well protected against serious illness.

How long does the third shot effectiveness last? Am I going to have to keep getting a new shot every six months?

Yes. Or possibly annually.

Why'd you get vaccinated in the first place if you still do nothing other than attend fully vaxxed/masked concerts? Seems like you're pretty low risk for catching or spreading it.

How could we possibly know (re: your first question)? No one has had a third shot for more than 4-ish months yet in any trials.

It would seem likely that we will need periodic booster shots for COVID the same way we do the flu or tetanus, but I think anyone who is telling you definitively if that's going to be "every 6 months" or "every 6 years" or some specific point on the timeline between the two is probably talking out their butt.

I meant in the next three months or so, I have nothing but low risk activities planned/

I got vaxxed in the first place because I wanted to reduce the risk of serious illness if I did get it. Now I feel like I'm still very well protected even if I do catch it.

 I also had two airplanes rides and airport shuttle rides on the horizon, which I felt were medium risk. And was visiting my unvaxxed mother. Now, I have nothing of that nature planned in the immediate future.

I agree with everything you're saying. I'll definitely get shot #3 in 2021 but don't feel the sense of urgency I did in getting shot #1. Though also not criticizing anyone who does.
