Here’s the latest Pfizer booster data: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-11-19/02-COVID-Perez-508.pdf
The stark difference in efficacy is clearly shown in the chart on page 18.
Cases are quite low here in Georgia at present. I’m not sure if I want to get boosted seven months out, or wait a while and see if cases start climbing again.

They report high effectiveness for their booster (about 95%).
Personally, I got Pfizer, but have not gotten a booster yet (low risk). I am toying with the idea of getting a J&J booster, for a little variety in my immune response. Also, I saw some reports that J&J effectiveness, although initially lower, did not show waning effectiveness over time, like Moderna and Pfizer.

Many of the modelers anticipate a wave of some sort during Cold & Flu Season. There will significant local variation from the averages though.
Statewide, Georgia had particularly intense Delta Wave, about as big as last Winter’s main wave of the pandemic, so I’d expect a bit less unburnt fuel lying around for another major flare up (relative to other places).
Nonetheless, it seems likely that there will be a seasonal uptick to some degree, before it burns out more completely.
Just this last week saw Georgia inflect back toward a slight rise in cases, after a huge drop through September and October.
