Booster protection against symptomatic illness caused by the Omicron variant dropped by up to 25% within 10 weeks, new real-world data found - though it's not yet clear whether everyone may need further doses in 2022.
The UK Health Security Agency said protection against symptomatic COVID-19 caused by the variant dropped from 70% to 45% after a Pfizer booster for those initially vaccinated with the shot developed by Pfizer with BioNTech.
In the same analysis published on Thursday, the agency found the effectiveness of Moderna's booster paired with two doses of the Pfizer vaccine held at 70% to 75% for up to nine weeks, though not many people in the study received this regimen, which could affect the accuracy of the finding.
For those fully vaccinated with AstraZeneca's vaccine, booster effectiveness dropped from 60% to 35% with a Pfizer booster and to 45% with a Moderna booster after 10 weeks, the UKHSA said.

On Wednesday, Israel became the first country to announce fourth doses to try to bolster immunity against Omicron for those most susceptible to COVID-19, including people older than 60 and health workers.
But other countries, such as the UK, are holding tight for more data on how well existing regimens work and the safety and effectiveness of additional doses.
In the US, most immunocompromised people could already get a fourth dose from six months after the third, before Omicron emerged. Those who got Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine initially aren't recommended more than two doses, guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

The normal nonsense from “Business insider”? Yup.
Nobody has died from this Omicron in the UK which supposedly got Omicron before the US did. There was one “death” reported which turned out to be fake.
And in South Africa where this “variant” apparently started they are not losing any sleep over it .
yea! an experimental gene therapy jab every 10 weeks!
let’s face it, these jabs are NOT vaccines but mere prophylaxis ...
South Africa first identified the Omicron through genetic sequencing, publicly announcing it on Nov 24, 2021.
How did they already get 10 weeks of data on a booster and omicron?
From setup, to ten weeks of trials, to data analysis, to publishing…
Which is only going to prolong the omicron variants stay if this is correct.
The same way they got all their other data.
They fabricated it?
Read tea leaves?
“Extrapolated?
SWAG?
Pulled it out of their butts?
This is extra egregious. Even the mouth breathing Karens should be able to figure this out.
Basically, the people who are “vaccinated” are still unvaccinated.
Should.
But will?
Not likely.
They don’t think that cogently. They run on emotions.
More like - Omicron is so mild that most of the folks who catch it remain largely asymptomatic.
Funny how they first tell us that Omicron “evades” the jabs and now they tell us more jabs are the answer...
