Boosters (3rd shot) for some people who got Pfizer

Officially, it is recommended that people 65+ and people with underlying medical conditions get a third shot of the Pfizer vaccine if it has been 6 months since their first two shots.

Unofficially, the same has been recommended for workers on the front line. This has caused some confusion, even among the experts. The best thing to do if you are unsure is call your doctor and ask them if you need a third shot. See the CDC’s page on this topic.
