(When you enter Ireland a leprechaun greets all under 80s at the border and gives you a lucky charm with immunity to COVID so we only offer the booster to over 80s.)
“Everyone should be getting a coronavirus vaccination annually in a similar manner to the flu shot, according to a new study out today by a team of US researchers.
At-risk groups should also be receiving a second annual #booster shot five months after their first.”
This afternoon my wife and I got our spring #booster#Covid shots. Changing it up this time, we opted for the #Novavax vaccine (a first), and to use the contralateral arm from our previous practice.
There is some research indicating that switching arms might boost the immune response, but the largest effect was seen when switching for the two shots of the initial series, not for boosts.
I've had #Covid twice: once in March 2020, when we still thought spread via groceries and door handles, and once more recently, when we understood that #CovidIsAirborne but Helen stopped masking without telling me. We've both had every #vaccine and #booster we can wring out of the NHS, and I wear #FFP2 in all indoor public spaces. (So, now, does Helen.)
I'm immunocompromised -- can't make Covid antibodies -- so we have even more reason to take it seriously.
My second wrangle with Rona gave me a bitof #LongCovid (to wit, loss of taste and smell, a month of Covid cock, and a persistent smell of smoke in my nostrils), but everything has cleared up now, thank goodness.
We need to talk more about #CovidCock. It might focus some minds. Nothing else seems to be doing it.
Where does this figure of 3397 deaths come from? According to the link you provide above, the figure is 936 deaths. (WHO on your linked source)
Or have I read something wrong?
