booster
A booster dose is an extra administration of a vaccine after an earlier (primer) dose. After initial immunization, a booster provides a re-exposure to the immunizing antigen. It is intended to increase immunity against that antigen back to protective levels after memory against that antigen has declined through time. For example, tetanus shot boosters are often recommended every 10 years, by which point memory cells specific against tetanus lose their function or undergo apoptosis.The need for a booster dose following a primary vaccination is evaluated in several ways. One way is to measure the level of antibodies specific against a disease a few years after the primary dose is given. Anamnestic response, the rapid production of antibodies after a stimulus of an antigen, is a typical way to measure the need for a booster dose of a certain vaccine. If the anamnestic response is high after receiving a primary vaccine many years ago, there is most likely little to no need for a booster dose. People can also measure the active B and T cell activity against that antigen after a certain amount of time that the primary vaccine was administered or determine the prevalence of the disease in vaccinated populations.If a patient receives a booster dose but already has a high level of antibody, then a reaction called an Arthus reaction could develop, a localized form of Type III hypersensitivity induced by high levels of IgG antibodies causing inflammation. The inflammation is often self-resolved over the course of a few days but could be avoided altogether by increasing the length of time between the primary vaccine and the booster dose.It is not yet fully clear why some vaccines such as hepatitis A and B are effective for life, and some such as tetanus need boosters. The prevailing theory is that if the immune system responds to a primary vaccine rapidly, the body does not have time to sufficiently develop immunological memory against the disease, and memory cells will not persist in high numbers for the lifetime of the human. After a primary response of the immune system against a vaccination, memory T helper cells and B cells persist at a fairly constant level in germinal centers, undergoing cell division at a slow to nonexistent rate. While these cells are long-lived, they do not typically undergo mitosis, and eventually, the rate of loss of these cells will be greater than the rate of gain. In these cases, a booster dose is required to "boost" the memory B and T cell count back up again.
Hi looking for a bit off advice.

Hi Guys,
Customer has a very poor hot water in their house. Initially i did check for an airlock but it wasn't that. Literally HWC is located almost at same height as basin and bath taps, CWST is above HWC probably 1m. So looking at it, not enough to get a decent pressure at the taps. Cold water...
Guys, any of you fitted one of these to boost the hot flow from a high pressure monobloc that is only tank fed ?
Problems with noise and cavitation at all ?
Cheers

Installing one of these (Monsoon S3.0 bar Twin - Stuart Turner Shower Pumps).
What happens in the event of an electrical failure. The current setup for showering is off the bath taps. I am also changing the HWSC so made sense to install the pump as well.
Is there some sort of bypass so that...
I have just started selling radiator booster pumps on my Shower Power Booster Web Site.
The radiator booster will fit on any pipe and drive the water towards or from radiators which are not working. Having driven the water around the system you may well find that the pump not only drives water...
Just wondering what kind of booster pumps for entire plumbing systems people are installing at the moment. I'm coming across a lot of Grundfos MQ3's only lasting 4/5 years. They are a costly piece of equipment to be only lasting that length of time??
what could make a booster pump to be on when there is no demand ? just had a e mail from customer .....
She said no tups were open anywhere in the house
Hi all,
I recently fitted a pump to boost the shower pressure in the house. The plumbing is all flexible pipe and all cold feeds are fed off the same 22mm ring. Taps, toilets, showers and bath, both upstairs and down. Don't know if this is normal, but it is normal in Donegal, North West Ireland...
