"[The study] was conducted during last winter’s coronavirus outbreak, which was dominated by the Omicron variant.

The fourth shot of Pfizer’s vaccine slashed the chance of hospitalization for COVID by over 60% and delivered a 34% reduction in chances of infection.."
"“The most important message here is that the fourth dose was protective for the most frail elderly people who are in residential facilities.." “Fourth shots reduce hospitalization and death — they’re lifesavers."
“The results are very good and very reassuring, especially as, before the fourth dose, we didn’t know whether it would help, especially against Omicron which is so much harder for vaccines to fight, as it has so many more mutations than previous variants.”
"Muhsen said that..results vindicate [the] decision in December to administer 4th doses, also known as second boosters, before most others around the world did.

“The decision to vaccinate at-risk populations with the 4th dose was a wise choice that saved a lot of human lives.”

@steeletalk Many Canadians use WA state Vaccine Locator (use B'ham zip 98225) & call pharmacies re deets to ensure all will go smoothly.
"Listed pop-up clinics are open to ages 6 months and older unless otherwise noted. No insurance is required at Whatcom County Health Department clinics".
@steeletalk "No, you do not need to be a U.S. citizen to get the vaccine. That means you do not need a social security number, or other [immigration] documents..to get the vaccine...Your child does not need to be a U.S. citizen to get the vaccine."
