Covid should be annual at minimum. No wonder I know so many families who are getting berated with repeated COVID infections. Everybody still thinks it’s a one and done situation.
Current American recommendation is 6 months to a year, I think, but the biggest problems are access and clear communication, which are not about to get better. :/
Last I had looked, it was twice for seniors (first one, then six months later), and only seemed to be once for anyone else not at high risk. Unless that's changed?
COVID vaccine efficacy wanes. (After how long depends on the vaccine.) Everyone should get vaxxed at least annually, because we don’t have a way of predicting who will become disabled by long COVID. But we do know that that COVID damages the immune system repeated infection increases risk of LC.
Furthermore, “high risk” doesn’t just mean people with immune disorders. It includes common conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, diabetes, and autism.
The CDC has not done a good job conveying this information, as well as information about masking.
Part of it is that the boosters are getting updated on a schedule that isn't necessarily in line with what everyone's "annual" might be. My lab is inside a VA hospital, so we were encouraged to get the newest booster if it'd been more than 6 months since our last.
Passed this to some friends who are backing up massive amounts of data that is being wiped out by Prezzy Musky. Their plan is to use some fancy vpn stuff and set it up as a torrent for folks to access.
Thank you. I know a couple folks doing sites and I think it's a great thing to have, they are doing amazing work and it's much appreciated what your friends are doing.
