Just reported on NBC Evening News: Booster does not require 2-week wait period for efficacy.
Did they give the source of the study that this is based on?
Just reported on NBC Evening News: Booster does not require 2-week wait period for efficacy.
A covid-19 patient’s family was choosing her gravestone. Then she awoke after weeks on a ventilator. — The Washington Post
“Bettina was in Maine to help Andrew and his family care for his father, who was battling stage-four cancer, Andrew said. But in early September, Andrew, his wife, his father and Bettina all contracted the coronavirus. Andrew, who had not been vaccinated, said being sick was “brutal,” but he, his wife and his father recovered.”
“Bettina, who also had not been vaccinated, did not recover. “She was planning on getting vaccinated before she left Florida, but she ran out of time,” Andrew said. “She was going to get vaccinated up here, but she came down with covid.”
(She’s had Covid for six months? She was on a ventilator for the month of October so unless she had been in the hospital for six months she could have gotten the shot starting in February with her age and health conditions!)
“After about a week of being in the hospital, Bettina was put on a ventilator and fell into a coma that lasted more than a month. Doctors told Andrew’s family that Bettina’s lungs “were destroyed,” he said. And because Bettina was reaching her 70s, had diabetes and had undergone a recent quadruple-bypass surgery, doctors “thought there was no chance of survival at that point.”
Oh geez, none of them were vaccinated.
BBM. You do not really 'fall into a coma' and then are put on a ventilator, you are in a medically induced coma to be intubated.A covid-19 patient’s family was choosing her gravestone. Then she awoke after weeks on a ventilator. — The Washington Post

I got really ill with my first shot. It came on really suddenly, lasted for 24 hours almost to the minute and left just as suddenly. I did not take my temperature but I know it was very high, because I got a fever induced cold sore on my lip.I heard that too, but yesterday I heard someone ( can't recall who) say it took 2 weeks for efficacy. Since my booster yesterday I have pretty bad aching in my arm, back and neck muscles. Interestingly that aching got worse tonight. I am kind of surprised because I did not get that with those two injections initially. I am taking Tylenol. I really hope it is true the booster takes effect right away.
My understanding, so JMO, is that the stimulation, or re-stimulation of the immune system is a continuing, and multi-step process. It makes sense to me that additional exposures to an antigen (from repeated exposure, or re-vaccination), would result in a faster immune response, than initial exposure, but this is all JMO. The immune system is complex, and individual variance is a reality. All JMO.
There is no option for testing in lieu of vaccine for healthcare workers per CMS. It’s completely different than the OSHA mandate.It was never vax or be fired. It was vax, or test and mask or be fired. OSHA not enforcing the mandate is due to this decision from the 5th Circuit, which doesn't mince words.

Our pharmacist who gave my husband the Pfizer vaccine booster said two weeks. The hospital where I got my Moderna booster told me two weeks for the booster shot to be fully effective.

I have a question--Does anyone know how long it takes the booster
to become effective?? I heard somewhere it was 2weeks, but tonight
on evening news they said protection kicks in immediately
Did they give the source of the study that this is based on?
Tetanus boosters kick in immediately.JMOO, but I don't understand how the protection could kick in immediately.
Maybe they're assuming the person who gets the booster still has a modicum of protection from the initial vaccine?
Tetanus boosters kick in immediately.
That could be. I just wondered about the covid booster because we were originally told the vaccine took 2 weeks to reach full protection, and if the booster is just half of a regular vaccine dose, I wonder how it could protect immediately.
I think if someone feels as though their immunity from the initial vaccine is low, it might not hurt to take a couple weeks of extra precautions after getting the booster, too.
Just my thoughts.
