A new study from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention confirms what Mayo Clinic and other experts have been saying: COVID-19 booster vaccinations improve protection against severe illness and hospitalization. The study examined people who had three doses of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, as well as whether it was a booster dose or the No. 3 dose for people who are immunocompromised.
"The third dose actually decreased COVID-19-associated hospitalizations significantly ― more than the two doses alone," says Dr. Abinash Virk, a Mayo Clinic infectious diseases specialist.
Dr. Virk says much has been learned about the effectiveness of booster vaccinations in the short time they've been available.
"Clearly, having the No. 3 dose ― the additional dose for immunocompromised people or the booster in healthy people ― does further improve your protection against hospitalization and severe disease."
When should you get a booster vaccination?
Mayo Clinic recommends getting the COVID-19 booster vaccination five months after you've completed your last dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or two months after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. These recommendations also apply to those who were recently infected with COVID-19.
"If somebody has had their primary series and they got COVID-19 infection, they should get their COVID-19 booster as long as it's been five months since their last dose of the messenger RNA (Moderna or Pfizer) vaccine, and they're out of isolation," says Dr. Virk.
Dr. Virk says there's still a lot to be learned about COVID-19 infection and natural immunity. For that reason, people shouldn't rely on protection from natural immunity alone. It is safer to get COVID-19 protection from getting vaccinated than from getting COVID-19 itself. That's because COVID-19 carries risks of severe disease and other complications.
"We know people can still get reinfected. We've seen that with omicron already.
The sooner you get vaccinated, the higher your immunity will be, the more the protection you will have from getting COVID-19 again."
Sounds like BS to me.
I agree. BS
Did this come from Rachel Maddow?
“A new study from the Center for Disease Control...”
No credibility.
Video clarifying the “science” of vaccine efficacy:
There is no data presented. Period. Another “because we say so” declaration.
Meanwhile in Israel..... the most vaccinated nation on Earth where a majority have had the booster and many have had a second booster the numbers are the worst among Western nations.
Draw your own conclusions. I have a very open mind but I have actively looked for data to support their statement and outside of declarations like this or talking heads on TV telling me this there is scant evidence.
Study from the badly compromised medical community
or
the reality of the up to date vaccinated still getting and transmitting cv19?
It’s a tough call what to believe.
Hmmmmm.
The Mayo clinic has lost all credibility.... they might as well be studying the difference between Hellmann’s and Miracle Whip.
Butt, butt, butt Mayo(naisse) clinic. Nearly everyone we know that’s been vaxxed and boostered has contracted CONvid in one form or another. Some for a second time. We remain-—”NON GMO”.
🔬😨😷💉🐂💨💩💸
Pure propaganda from the Pharma Government Complex.
I don’t know about hospitalizations, but new Covid cases in most heavily vaccinated countries are currently running 200% to 3,000% (Norway, for example) HIGHER than at any time during the pre-vaccine era.
Ooo eee, ooo aah aah, ting tang, walla walla bing-bang...
The Babylon Bee has some new competition!!!
nice federal funding you got there, be a same if something happened to it
I blame the booster on a very tragic situation I’m in right now. And I realize because of these lying stats, I couldn’t have prevented the situation.
And we should believe this because. . . . ? ? ? ?
So, is anyone trying to cancel the clinic for spreading mis/disinformation?
Marketing. Consumers should consume this product. Many times.
Because EMERGENCY!!!! With many exclamation points.
As of 29 January 2022, according to worldometers' "official" data, ( 5,669,541 "worldometers official" global deaths / 7,923,543,454 global population ) x 100 = 0.072 % Less than one tenth of one percent "officially" Covid dead over two years worldwide, says worldometers' data.
As of 31 January 2022, ( 5,665,468 "JHU official" global deaths / 7,924,043,134 global population ) x 100 = 0.072 %
IMHE, statista and other "official sources" say something quite the same.
So the obvious conclusion? Marketing. Consumers should consume this product. Many times.
Just heard that Springteen is pulling his music from Spotify, for reasons that his brain would probably have a hard time expressing about Joe Rogan and him having people on his show that speak unapproved thoughts.
I think we are rapidly reaching peak craziness. Medicine as politics. And this article is the same - an appeal from authority to do what they say.
And sadly, many do.
Zero Crediblity!
By this time next year they will be saying how well the 20th booster can help prevent serious illness.
