I've known people who had a slightly elevated BMI get their first and second jabs on the basis of being overweight as a medical condition. If you're not sure, check with your health care provider. I just visited my primary care doctor and he did not bring up the booster, but did inquire about my flu shot status.

PD is not on the list for boosters yet. I just got my third yesterday but because I'm a health care worker.

I am too! I’m a psychotherapist. Received my shot in April.

They want you to wait 8 months between 2nd and 3rd. I got my second in February.

My husband’s PCP recommended it for him. He got the Pfizer booster shot on Saturday- no issues for him, however, I had the same flu-like symptoms for a day that I had following the second vaccine.
