Might be good if they switched to using pediatric doses. Definitely some additional studies may help. Especially if factoring in long covid, difficulties with being sick at home, etc.That is good news but inaccurate for males under 30. Healthy makes under 30 probably should not get the vaccine because of the risk of myocarditis.
Oh the old daysLet's talk about the Covid 19 Vaccine soon to be available from Moderna and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.
Don't worryI became completely overwhelmed when trying to understand all the vaccine variations/advanges/disadvantages/spacing.
Today I got my fifth Moderna shot which was a full strength bivalent version. I was also advised to accept a tetanus/whooping cough/measles update. So I did, hoping the health care system knows what it is talking about!
LolThe concept of an expert or authority is just a myth ... given what we deny!

Not safe

Like I trust physics enough so that I can walk in relative safety and not have to worry second by second if the ground will break or a proton will decay or the Earth will get hit by a too close GRB etc etc etc

We were in some fairly crowded settings on the cruise (no masks and distancing was impossible) and came out of it fine. We had our fourth (bivalent) shot in December and I have my flu shot as well. Do I know that's a factor? No. But it seems probable. Same with why I, someone deemed high risk in the early going, ended up with a case of the bug that was basically just a flu.I've gotten five full doses of the vaccine. My sister and her husband went to Vancouver on the January 21 weekend. They got sick soon after. She has been quite sick for the past week. She did the covid test yesterday to decide whether to go to choir practice. She tested positive. They stopped into visit us on their way home from Vancouver and we didn't get sick. I'm wondering if the five vaccines I got was a factor.
Our shots in December were actually almost a year after our third. We could have gone as early as summer but had the bug in July and were getting conflicting data on how soon to get a shot after recovering. December got chosen because we wanted some time for the immunity to build before our cruise.We will be getting our next shot in March. Our last shots were in September.
on long covidI doubt anyone knows why some people get Covid and others don't. My suspicion is that those who are vaccinated and get it probably would have been sicker without the shots. It has worked that way with people we know anyway. One is battling Long Covid and having a tough time. I listen over the phone.
I haven't heard of an updated plan here to know when I can get another, nothing has really be said about another booster after having had a bivalent one. The earliest I see possibly being eligible is April. If that's the case I may go in May, as there's a wedding in June. Otherwise with the seasonal nature I would be more open to leaving things for the summer as cases do tend to drop.We will be getting our next shot in March. Our last shots were in September.
