Pfizer Says 3rd Booster Shot “Strongly” Boosts Protection Against Delta Variant
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 10: Syringes containing a dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine are viewed at a clinic targeting Central American Indigenous residents at CIELO, an Indigenous rights organization, on April 10, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. CIELO launched an outreach campaign for vaccinations to address language barriers, accessibility, mistrust of government and misinformation among Mexican and Guatemalan Indigenous residents. They have suffered disproportionately during the pandemic with many losing work in the hospitality industry.

Concerned about the Delta variant? Depending on the vaccine you got, you may be able to get extra protection.
Pfizer says a third vaccine shot would “strongly” boost protection against the highly contagious Delta variant.
The company cited new data that suggests a third shot could improve immune response by up to five times more in people ages 18-55, and eleven times more in people over 65.
Pfizer is currently seeking FDA approval for a third booster shot, which would potentially be administered 12 months after the second dose.
So, what about me who got the Moderna? Where’s my third dose?!
