I really hope they start boosters soon in December, once everyone who is eligible had the chance to get the vaccine if they want. Other countries are already starting boosters so hopefully we won't fall behind again.
Its been shown that the 2nd jab will lose effect over time. Generally 4 to 6 months after a booster will be required.
What seems to be missing yet here in Australia is the preparation for these 3rd shots.
I personally suspect that we will start to outbreaks in Nursing homes again (as these were generally the 1st to get 2nd jabs) which will be seen to be the start of another wave.
Whilst I doubt there will be another full lockdown in NSW, there might be a closure of some industries/retail/services.
Looking more outward, I really wonder what has become of the other mutant strains we have all been warned about, such as mu ?
For those who haven't been following, Israel has rolled out its booster and anyone not having a 3rd shot or actual covid within the last 6 months loses their green pass.
We have an interesting 6 months ahead.

got 4 shots already just to be sure
They are concentrating on getting everyone including young people double vaccinated which makes sense.
And this morning they announced a 3rd booster for immunocompromised people will start from tomorrow.
Third boosters, initially for specific groups eg the elderly will probably start next year.
Pfizer seems to last less than AZ so I reckon Pfizer boosters will start next year, probably for the elderly to start with but eventually probably everyone. And it seems like you can mix and match vaccines so supply won't be a problem.
That'll be handy for our junior members suffering FOMO
Due to the nature of your work what is your estimation of your chances of catching the virus within six months of fully opening up?
Mine is 85%
100% after a year.
I'm not looking forward to it as things seem to have a lot more chances of going awry much more often with this genetically engineered virus than say the flu.
Just kidding I only had the 2 Pfizer doses .. I checked my record 3 weeks ago and saw they added a AZ dose on the 6th of Aug, rang them and complained and checked today and on my record there's a 2nd AZ does.
Fucken usseless ...I think someone with the same name and DOB got the AZ shots and didn't get their record updated properly
How would you easily fake them, or fake them at all? You'd need to be a tech wiz. I don't think anyone is going to risk a $30,000 fine when all they have to do is wait six weeks further and they won't even be needed in Australia. Which is ridiculous, they should have made it six months on pure principle, because they're ***kwits.

Shit hysteria, not known yet for booster, really only recommended to crook cunts. Saying if you do have 3rd shot your vaccinated for life. How about enough of this talk, go to other forums not a sex site if you want to keep pushing covid. If your worried about your health then dont punt, most guys here are punters and are choosing to do that not fucking nervous nellies.
Lets get positive and start chatting about other shit than covid. Lets get onto other subjects for fuck sakes please.
A few good points here, but one I really wonder about ?
At what point do the vaccination clinics learn your current status ?
Before the jab, or after ?
I used my personal doctor, so he would know, but I wonder if he would stop giving me a 3rd job if I walked in ?
mmm, I got my 2nd AZ in July, so I'll be ready for number 3 before xmas.
