Husband has Covid - is it too late for me to ask for a booster vaccination?

[Localher0]

I'm fully vaccinated and had Covid almost 2 years ago. Husband has come back from a business trip yesterday symptomatic and tested positive today.
My dilemma is that my brother is on end of life care in a nursing home. I can't not visit him in his last few weeks. I'll take all precautions at home and wondered if I ask for a booster tomorrow would it be effective and would they even give me one?

It won't make a difference at this point. They take two weeks to kick in. If you want to try to avoid getting Covid from your husband, your best bet is to isolate your husband, ventilate the house well and/or run HEPA purifiers, and you both need to wear FFP3 masks in it common spaces. Good luck.

It will be pointless at this stage. Plus when I went for my vaccine they didn't want you having it if you'd been knowingly exposed to covid in the last week.

Thanks both - we're trying very hard to stay far away from each other. All the windows are open and masks have been rummaged out of drawers! 🤞🏻I don't get it - it's the worst possible timing with my brother so sick and there's no other family to visit him.

I am sorry - that is stressful.

why can’t you visit your brother though? Sorry to ask a seemingly trite question.

my sister is a nurse and has to go to work even if testing positive for covid. This isn’t something I agree with but my point is that people are generally having to keep going to work with it; it’s everywhere

@BeethovenNinth it's a good question! Especially as the visiting hospice nurses said the guidance they've been given is to go to work if they're asymptomatic but positive 😳. I guess I'm worried about actually being symptomatic- then it's more of a grey area if I go in. DH is improving, still coughing but up and about and WFH. I'm fine so far so hopefully will stay that way 🤞🏻
