📍Why is @CDCgov still dragging its feet & not yet redefining “fully vaccinated” as ‘with booster’? It’s obvious original 2-shots (or 1 J&J) isn’t enough anymore—3x hospitalizations vs boosted among elderly. C’mon @CDCDirector. #GetBoosted

2) Flipping the chart and converting to vaccine effectiveness— the vaccine effectiveness in the elderly age 65+ without booster has now steeply dropped to sub-75%—pay attention people! 👀 #GetBoosted. @CDCDirector needs to act fast!

3) Vaccine effectiveness among that not boosted has also collapsed among those age 50-64 to now just ~80% against hospitalization. That’s not good enough. We need boosters.

4) How about booster vaccine effectiveness among those age 18-49 against hospitalization? ~95%. But if not boosted, ➡️ vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization collapses to just ~76%. 👀 Boosters urgently needed! C’mon @CDCgov. Waiting @CDCDirector.
