Do I Need A Second Booster? - 4 Questions To Ask Yourself | Dr Leong Hoe Nam @ The Rophi Clinic

You are the captain of your own body. After learning from this video and you still think otherwise than good luck.

[@patriciaandrada4]

I am over 70, had Moderna shots, got first and second booster shots. 4 of family members got covid same house, i did not get it. Traveled to New York, Spain, France, Germany, Italy and Thailand. Followed safety protocols all throughout my trips and even when i go out in my country the Philippines. Thankfully i am still covid free. I quarantine myself at home each time i arrive from a trip, test myself after 5 days to make sure i am a safety to others.

[@pw8312]

My husband,61 and I, 59 are unvax. Many people we know are vaxxed and get Covid. My daughter was vaxxed and got covid too recently. Concerned relatives telling us to send her away to a hotel but no, she stayed home in our small 4 room flat 24/7. We didn't confine her in her room, no mask or social distance. She watch TV in the sitting room and ate with us at the table. She felt better after the 3rd day and tested negative on the 7th day and went back to work on the 8th day. My husband and I didn't get any and was covid free.... we always trust God and takes our own homemade inexpensive probiotics fruit enzyme on a regular basis to boost our own's God given immunity rather than something experimental coming from the lab.... peace.

Tammy Gravis 2 weeks ago I thought I had a stroke or a brain tumor. I was the picture of health and one day I got up and felt like a truck hit me and was so weak I couldn't set up straight after the shot. 1. My mind has been affected. I'd say 50% or more of my brain power is gone. There is damage to my brain. 2. Debilitating headaches every single day and all day. 3. Stomach pain and constant belching throughout the day. Stomach feels and looks bloated and it's painful. There is roaring and rumbling in my stomach that is loud all day. I now have to take medication that doesn't help a lot. 4. Constant pain in my neck and it pops like it will break off. 5. Pain down the back of my neck and in the top portion of my upper back. It hurts so bad at times that a hot shower is excruciatingly painful. 6. Muscle aches and joint aches throughout the day. 7. Weakness and extreme fatigue. I have to sleep 10 hours to function two hours. If I don't sleep well I can barely move some days and the pain is off the charts. 8. I've been diagnosed with tachycardia and I take medication for it that causes more problems. 9. My taste has been drastically reduced. I can only taste about 10-25% of the food I eat. 10. Vision is worse. 11. Hearing is more difficult b/c it's made the tinnitus worse and my head is popp9ing and crackling all the time. I had arthritis before and it's worsened it 10 times. 12. Communnication if hard for me. I rarely talk like I did before. 13. Significant hair los

Dear Dr Leong. We don’t have moderna as a option here. My dad is in his mid80s with co-morbidities, and has had 3 Pfizers. He then got infected, but mild with anti viral treatment. For his 2nd booster would it be helpful to have AZ instead? Thank you in advance for your generously sharing your knowledge.

[@kimchan3195]

Thank you. I’m in my 60s and after all 4 questions, I don’t see much benefit to getting a 2nd booster esp when the current vaccine is not specific to the B.4 or B.5 virus which I understand surfaced in Feb 2022. The Israeli study you used was dated in January. Perhaps you can address when a more suited vaccine to the prevalent B.4 & B.5 virus will be available here although the virus may well mutate again but at least the vaccine is closer to the prevalent strain to target.

18:20 "30 years old and above please go for your second booster. It will clearly clearly help you." So high antibodies not an issue, Dr Leong?

You are encouraging ppl to the slaughter house

[@arthurlerchonghui5737]

Impt Q. The 4th dose helps BUT for t average majority with NO significant reasons, is it better to wait till t newer versions from Moderna n Pfizer are in? Both have announced it. They are expected in a few mths time?. B) Or do we take t current version which helps but it will not be at t same level as the newer versions.

[@hoenamleong1439]

The newer vaccine will work better. The question rather is will you fall sick first or the newer vaccine comes first. If you can crystal ball the situation accurately... Great. If you can't make a decision based on the 4 questions

Hi Dr Leong, for immunocompetent family members (30-40 years old) of immunocompromised individuals- pregnant, on immunosuppressants, will it benefit these family members to get a second booster to protect the immunocompromised individual?

[@alec6125]

I think the video info would imply that you should as long as your reactions to the vaccines have been ok. Bc you would be at higher risk of severe reactions if you actually contracted covid

[@pecklily8]

Hello Dr. Leong, I had my 2 vaccinations 2020 and 1st booster was last year Sept. I am in my 60s and have not infected yet. No other illness. Should I get 2nd booster not only to protect myself but am thinking of my children, grandkids and others as I wouldn't know if am infected as some have no symptoms but a Covid carrier.

Same here my sister kept asking me why I got my 2nd shot so early since I'm only 51yrs old not yet 60. Her friends 60yrs above hesitate & worried about the 2nd shot . To me once the announcement that 50 to 59 yrs can hv the 2nd shot. Next day went to community to got my 2nd shot without any hesitation. Eventhough I'm a healthy person but to protect myself & family. My husband just got his 2nd shot too.

Greetings from Hong Kong! Thank you Dr. Leong for your crystal clear explanation and analysis on this topic. By far probably one of the best on You Tube.

[@chongyvonne4991]

Just curious if you have had your second booster???

[@joannelum2995]

Hahaha i am more curious whether he had any from the beginning..

[@ylim]

In-vitro results from Alden et al (2022) should also be considered in the grand scheme

Dear Dr I ve mitral valve prolapse 70 years old fully vaccinated had covid 6 months ago mild symptoms Which means my TCell are efficient do I need 2nd booster?

[@robingorenc4265]

Hello friend your profile picture really intrigued me, as I think you're really attractive, and it's for that reason that I'd like to get to know you better, if that's something you're keen on as well. I look forward to receiving your friend's request

[@ann6285]

Thk you Dr for such informative video. May i know does Sinovac vaccination able to trigger T cells antibody? I had 1st n 2nd doses of Sinovac and later boosted with mRNA Pfizer 6 months ago. If i go for 2nd booster shot ( mRNA Pfizer), can i consider myself only 2 vaccination ? As i know some countries do not recognise Sinovac vaccinations and consider not a complete vaccination . As u mentioned earlier, a complete vaccination is 2 mRNA vaccinations + 1 mRNA booster. Thank you.

[@sethsuleiman4419]

Just sharing some info and my views. (1). It is a known fact that vaxxed or unvaxxed, one can infected and transmit infection. The severity of infection depends on the health of one's immune system; not whether one is vaxxed or unvaxxed. (2). 90% of the population is healthy (good and normal immune system). They actually do not need vax at all, as their healthy immune system can handle c19 virus, just like any other viruses. They may have mild symptoms just like with other viruses. (3). The next 7% are semi-healthy; whilst, the remaining 3% are with acute or chronic comorbidity. They may need vax, depending on doctor's advise. For now, I am in the 90% group.

I just got 2th booster . I am sick like a dog. Didn't expect that. Too late 😪

[@jenniferloh9429]

My hubby went for his 2nd booster on 7th July in the morning and evening he was tested positive with covid-19. He is 69 years old. His symptoms are moderate! Is it normal to have booster and covid-19 on the same day?

[@parasmuthusamy2044]

Lol it must be his “underlying condition”

[@johnmanuel9771]

To Dr. Leong case is 3 vaccines or dose of Pfizer and few week later got omicron ; question1: is this case same as getting second booster except instead of vaccine you got actual virus Question 2: will the 2nd booster of Pfizer will reduce your natural immunity ?

[@christinep.]

63 and have asthma/COPD. Had 2nd booster several months ago. I assume there is nothing else I can do until autumn when a new vaccine may be available?

[@joselitoparagas8243]

I’m 65 years old with no comorbilities and have received 3 Pfizer vaccines and have not been infected with covid 19, do I need a second booster?
