Any indication if immuno-compromised can get the booster at these pop ups?

Booster & 3rd shot are 2 different things.

3rd Dose: immuno.html
The CDC recommends people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised should receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine after the initial 2 doses.
This additional dose intended to improve immunocompromised people’s response to their initial vaccine series is not the same as a booster dose, given to people when the immune response to a primary vaccine series is likely to have waned over time. immuno.html
Booster: booster-shot.html
The goal is for people to start receiving a COVID-19 booster shot beginning in the fall, with individuals being eligible starting 8 months after they received their second dose of an mRNA vaccine (either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna).

Also – The Various UW sites do offer the 3rd shot for immunocompromised folks. You need to call & schedule an appointment. 206.520.8700 vaccineI believe the Seattle Times listed other places.I doubt any of the pop-ups can do the 3rd dose – but I can’t find definitive info on that.

I saw in the news today Delta Airlines is going to add $200 a month to unvaccinated employees health care premium. It’s about time the financial cost of choosing to not get vaccinated be paid for by adults that make this choice. Shifting the cost burden onto adults that choose not to get vaccinated is a fair way to handle the challenge.

Sorry, comment time is over.
