Speaking from personal experience as I just went online to check for myself, you can just book a booster shot at any pharmacy. They don’t really care about who’s eligible. If you want one, get one. You’re not taking it out of someone’s arm. They’re throwing vaccines away.
It is likely we are going to see the loosely defined restrictions drop today, as they have been increasingly confusing for most and everyone 18+ will be allowed to get a COVID-19 booster.
There we go. FDA clears Moderna and Pfizer's Covid vaccine booster shots for ALL U.S. adults. Just like that. cnbc.com/2021/11/19/fda…
While the original doses still provide plenty of protection, booster doses are clearly restoring or even surpassing the high levels of effectiveness seen against infection and transmission that the best vaccines provided initially.
Boosters are NOW available for ALL U.S. adults. If you WANT ONE, GET ONE. cnbc.com/2021/11/19/fda… If you need help finding a vaccine, please see: vaccines.gov. I will help if you have questions! Don’t forget your flu vaccine! THEY CAN BE ADMINISTERED AT THE SAME TIME.
As I have said before, I cannot “make” anyone get a vaccine. I can only give you the data to make an informed decision. This is what we are looking at regarding the impact of boosters. Please do see my other study threads as well. H/T Image: @PaulMainwood Image

If you’re wondering what difference a booster makes. Image
Real-world data out of England on booster effectiveness shows OVER 90% vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection when comparing boosted vaccinated individuals to unvaccinated individuals.
•When comparing VE of boosters vs. a primary two-dose series as a baseline, the booster ADDED 81-85% protection against symptomatic infection. That is ON TOP of what one already has from their primary two-dose series. Image

Data out of the Texas Department of State Health Services shows from September 4th- October 1st:
•Unvaccinated individuals were 13X MORE likely to become infected with COVID-19
•Unvaccinated individuals were 20X MORE likely to experience COVID-19-associated death ImageImage
Vaccination had a strong protective effect on infections and deaths among people of ALL ages. The protective impact on infections was consistent across adult age groups and even greater in those ages 12 to 17 years.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion today. Would it help if I composed a thread on boosters? I do have some real-world data that may be helpful.

Also, good morning! ☀️
THREAD ON BOOSTERS 🧵
There seems to be a lot of confusion today regarding the subject of boosters so let’s see if I can make this a little bit easier to understand so that you can make an informed decision. Let’s do this.
To start off, new real-world data out of England on booster effectiveness shows OVER 90% vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection when comparing boosted vaccinated individuals to unvaccinated individuals. Most have probably seen the headline that boosters will be

Yes, the vaccines ARE effective against the Delta variant. Yes, you will want both doses for maximum protection. Yes, they’re effective against preventing symptomatic infection, severe disease, AND hospitalization. Several studies have proven this now. Stop the misinformation.
Also, yes, this does include Johnson & Johnson. Why are variants unlikely to FULLY evade vaccine-induced immunity?
•Vaccines are polyclonal (Abs)
•CD8+ T-cells covering 52 epitopes across the spike protein
•CD4+ T-cells covering 23 epitopes across the spike protein
Real-world data out of Ontario, Canada regarding vaccine effectiveness (reduction associated with full vaccination) shows:

•Against Infection: 82.5%
•Against Hospitalization: 91.8%
•Against ICU Admission: 97.2%

Delta is currently the most prevalent variant in Ontario.

“Breakthrough” infections DO NOT mean vaccines don’t work. Remember, they are preventives NOT cures. One can still contract COVID once vaccinated. As long as that vaccine is preventing you from facing severe disease and worse, it IS working and doing what it was designed to do.🧵
Regarding the concerns about waning immunity. Please remember, this is likely referring to infection. NOT effectiveness against symptomatic infection, NOT effectiveness against severe illness. While neutralizing antibodies decrease over time (as they ARE supposed to) protective
immunity provided by memory B-cells and T-cells is STILL present. Remember: Immunological memory consists of antibodies, memory B-cells, memory CD8+ T-cells, and memory CD4+ T-cells. These responses give us enduring protection even against newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Fantastic news for your day. Rates of COVID-19 cases, patient numbers, hospital admissions, AND deaths are now ALL falling in England. Week-on-week infections have now dropped for 18 days straight AND cases are falling in ALL age groups.
Read more here: ft.com/content/e11add…. This article also gives a great analysis on the rest of Europe and shows in well-vaccinated countries like the Netherlands and the UK, while cases have climbed close to past peaks, hospitalizations AND deaths remain at LOWER levels.
Keep in mind, this is with no new measures currently implemented in England. Vaccinations, boosters, and acquired/hybrid immunity are doing the heavy lifting here as they should!💪💥
