Recognizing a need for boosters in vulnerable when it comes to Delta & recognizing their benefit - which thus far seems high (even if turns out to be temporary)…
Why are we still vaccinating w mRNA sequence of the now obsolete Wuhan strain when we know the sequence for Delta.

This is only half sarcastic as a question.
Is it purely bc full trials haven’t been completed? Is it bc we don’t agree w an added benefit of using a sequence matching the most common and destructive variant?
My opinion is there would be benefit (or at least equivalency)

If we continue to Reenforce a response to the 1st virus, we may find ourselves stuck in that version of a response when we do want to make an update to the vaccine later on. Better to stay current.
Also, we know Delta has evasive mutations vs original immune response

And yes. I do understand that the immune data does in fact show that there is a good response to the original version of the vaccine. I’m not saying we are doing harm. I do wonder though why not keep up to date. Use mRNA vaccines how they are touted to be used (simple updates)
