The New Mexico Department of Health is encouraging people 65 or older to get an updated dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a new recommendation.

Immunocompromised people can already receive additional doses, per previous CDC recommendations.

NMDOH Chief Medical Officer Miranda Durham said most COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations last year were in the 65-plus demographic.

“An additional vaccine dose can provide added protection that may have decreased over time for those at highest risk,” Durham said in Thursday news release.

Once again my Tagline is relevant. A daily boost to your own existing immune system with Vitamins C and D3, zinc and Quercetin very likely will provide the necessary protection for this and other airborne viruses.

For those who wish the deathjab or clotshot, below is the information published with the article. Proceed at your own risk:

For questions or vaccine scheduling help, call the NMDOH helpline at 1-833-796-8773. An interactive map of pharmacies and health care providers offering the vaccine is available at VaccineNM.org; uninsured New Mexicans can find a list of places offering free vaccines at the CDC’s Bridge Access Program until Dec. 31. People can find their personal vaccine history at VaxViewNM.org.

“If you’re an older person, the first shots obviously didn’t work. So please try again” - Chief Medical Officer Miranda Durham.

My sister has had four boosters and is sick now with a couple unusual lung disorders. She used to be fairly healthy before these ‘vaccines’ came along.
She also obeys whatever the TV and the government tell her to do.

Nancy Reagan was correct decades ago when she said,

"Just say no!"

[mewzilla]

Not only an excellent tagline...

But the best dang description for what CoupFlu vaxxes do that I’ve seen.

That description should up on billboards, t-shirts, PSAs...

[CheshireTheCat]

How many vaxeeems in total now would a true believer have taken if they get this next one?

Does anyone know of a source with a list of when each booster came out?

I guess in six weeks a booster will be recommended to a lower age group.

I can think of five people I work with who will jump at this.

Is six the most chambers any revolver known to man has?

“An additional vaccine dose can provide added protection”

Let’s see the science on that, CMO.

I denied the masks and the vaccines. I haven’t seen a DR for 3 years. I’m still kicking (I’m 90) and it makes me cringe that so many elders get caught up in the vaccine killer. The tend to believe that their doctors tell them. I’ve always hated doctors and made a point not to believe everything they said. I take my vitamins and wait for the Lord’s call.

Take the clot shot? Sure…

They push the flu shots to be given in September.

Our flu season begins after Thanksgiving. The flu vaccinations lose 30% of their effectiveness every month.

My wife and I got the first 2 Covid shots, and I had shingles after the first shot and so did a friend. The shingles rash disappeared after about a week with both of us.

My wife and I never got another COVID vaccination. We had a variant, short lived, in two late springs and never had any treatments. I had Covid foot for about a week, and the rash went away after topical steroid treatment.

Stay Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines ~CDC

COVID-19 vaccine recommendations have been updated as of February 28, 2024, to recommend adults ages 65 years and over receive an additional updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine dose. This page will be updated to align with the new recommendation. Learn more.

What You Need to Know:

CDC recommends the 2023–2024 updated COVID-19 vaccines: Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Novavax, to protect against serious illness from COVID-19.

Everyone aged 5 years and older ‡ should get 1 dose of an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect against serious illness from COVID-19.

Children aged 6 months–4 years need multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccines to be up to date, including at least 1 dose of updated COVID-19 vaccine.

People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may get additional doses of updated COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccine recommendations will be updated as needed.

Just say no.

Time to thin the herd.

[roving]

The government hasn’t thinned the herd enough.

Getting a booster implies you got numero uno. Guess I’ll have to skip it and they can skip up and kiss my 🐴’s butt.
