Covid booster within 14 days of sailing

[DGNewton]

For those previously vaccinated, has anyone received a Covid booster shot within 14 days of their sailing.  Is this permissible?   
we sail Oct 30th and get back to our home in the 19th.  I’d like to consider getting the booster do not want to affect our current cruise.

Yes.....the booster has nothing to do with your vaccination status.  That was complete 14 days after your second shot.

John Heald addressed this specifically today or yesterday.  Third shot is irrelevant.  You just need your second shot more than 14 days before sailing.

I'm afraid to chance it though I want one too. I did moderna and board oct 25.

Yeah

im afraid as the agent we had in July had a hard tome with my basic shot card.  It took others to convince her we had both shots. 
I fear the third would confuse some. But I’d like to get it.

We got our booster shots yesterday but our next cruise is 4 weeks away.

As far as I know,only Pfizer has been approved for booster shots. Moderna was scheduled to be heard by the FDA but don't know the results.

   Here in California, I read in the L.A. Times that Moderna IS now approved for the Booster shot.  With qualifications, of course.

Yesterday they meet and unanimously gave their approval and today was yes to J and J. 

 

Otherwise I would already have gotten it lol. I'm past 8 months now. Approval is only for age 65 and older or maybe also immune compromised.. I fit the age approved.

We don't meet the age requirement but our oncologist told us to go get it.

I received my booster October 2nd and sailed October 9th without any issues at all!
