The Verdict Is Still Out On Fourth Covid Shots. Some People Aren’t Waiting … As officials try to persuade as many people as possible to get booster shots, some Hawaii residents are skipping the line to get fourth doses.
Apart from the prick of a needle, getting the Covid-19 vaccine this December was painless for Ki Higa. It was his fourth jab so he knew what to expect.
“It was just easy, everyone was like ‘okay cool, no problem, just fill out this form and you’re good to go,’” Higa said.
This was Higa’s first time getting the Moderna vaccine; his previous three were all Pfizer. But Higa doesn’t qualify for a fourth shot according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which so far has only recommended them for immunocompromised people. He’s just worried.
