For people who are otherwise healthy, timing is a key consideration to getting any vaccine. You want to get it a few weeks before that big trip or wedding, if that's the reason for getting boosted, doctors say. But, for most people, it may be worth waiting until the fall in anticipation of winter cases of COVID-19 really tick up.
'You want to be fully protected at the time that it's most important for you,' said Dr. Costi Sifri, of the University of Virginia Health System.
People at higher risk of complications should always talk with their doctor about what is best for them, Sifri added. Older adults and those with weak immune systems may need more boosters than others, he said."
*PING*
“Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in May that the shots would no longer be recommended for healthy kids, a decision that health experts have said lacks scientific basis. The American Academy of Pediatrics still endorses COVID-19 shots for children older than 6 months.”
Looks like they got their Marching Orders from the CDC. There must be WAREHOUSES still full of shots to sell to the Unwashed Masses. *SPIT*
Who ever declared this “shot” to be effective against this “Stratus” variant?
Fifty mg of zinc ion daily plus Vitamin D-3, still effective against most forms of coronavirus. Ivermectin and HCQ still available as acceptable treatments.
I take Immuno 150 and I haven’t been sick in years.
Could people in parts of Michigan, and Ohio be getting the sniffles or having other sinus related issues this summer due to smoke from Canada widlfires?
Antigenic and virological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 variants BA.3.2, XFG, and NB.1.8.1
There’s a bug going around. I was at Disney a couple of weeks ago. Every other adult had a minor cough, which is a sign of the upper respiratory bug.
I’m seeing the same bug in Kansas right now.

“vaccines still work against it”
They must claim that or lose their funding.
What a joke.
Is that the supplement advertised on Newsmax, with the 90 +
year old golfing and dancing couple?
Affiliations …. CCP!
I'm guessing that if I cared we would've tested positive for Chicom Cooties as well.
Oh, noes!! Summer bugs!!
Nothing new, under the sun.
You mean she tested positive with the highly false positive chynah virus test? The same test that the (now mysteriously dead) inventor said was NOT an accurate test for ChyNah virus (because it essentially labels all cold/corona viruses …. as …. ChyNah virus)??

Yes. It is. It made me feel so much better and helped my persistent cough and made my skin feel amazing. Plus I haven’t had a cold or sore throat in at least three years.
Very nice.
I’m telling hubby, right now.
We always get a good kick out of that spry couple.
*RAISES HAND*
Canadian Wildfires and Ragweed in bloom!
“I take Immuno 150 and I haven’t been sick in years.”
I avoid PEOPLE in general and I haven’t been sick in years. :)
I’ve had the Chicom Cooties at least 3 times. I’ve had hangovers worse than them.
