Covid Booster Vs Full Shot

A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭
Princeton, NJ

I have PV and am on Hydrea. My hematologist has recommended a third full dose of Moderna since Hydreain his words is an immunosuppressant. An MPN specialist however just told me all that is needed is a booster of Moderna. Have any of you gotten this differing of opinions?

My RDW is always high, because my iron stores in bone marrow were depleted. Once started on iron it is a little better plus my MCV returned to normal.

Yes. Pfizer booster and vaccine are the same. Moderna booster on the other hand is a half dose. I am so torn about which doctor's opinion I should listen to !
