Overboard

Posted by Staff on Thursday, April 7, 2022

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

The idiom “to go overboard” is used to describe a person who does something that is excessive or extreme. An example would be a person going overboard to prepare food for a party or spending an excessive amount of money on an item. Some may remember the 1987 romantic comedy Overboard that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The movie was a box office success and can still be seen on television. A 2018 remake of Overboard starred Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez that reversed the roles of the original movie. Others may remember Adam Sandler’s movie in 1989 titled Going Overboard about a struggling comedian who works on a cruise ship.

So, why am I discussing going overboard as it relates to COVID-19? The FDA cleared the way for a third, fourth, and fifth booster dose for the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
