my grandpa (94 yo) had the same exact question. i told him to hold off. the data coming out of the UK shows very strong protection with the first booster still. if you go off script, then it’s even harder to know what to do down the line as recommendations and data analysis will not align with your decision. i assume a second booster will be coming for 60+ but don’t know when. maybe next fall before the next winter surge?
Right now, I'm thinking the 2nd round of boosters for older patients, not immunocompromised, wi;; be at the 9-12 month interval. I think the new dosing interval for primary doses will help, though, and that a boost at 6 months after the longer-interval primary will see enhanced humeral immunity.
