From a logistical point of view, the rollout for boosters will be 8 months from date of final vax, which varies from state to state. Younger people will become eligible later because they got their vaccines mostly after 65+.
an 18 yo won’t be eligible for a shot in September bc teens weren’t getting shots in January on the broader booster q, I’m flummoxed by the lack of data but tipping toward concern for early-vax’d seniors Still, the “all Americans” booster rule caught me by great surprise
Those in healthcare will be. But it also doesn't make sense for 30-year-old people. Immunocompromised, elderly, J&J recipients (who are still ignored), high-risk, fine. This is "something must be done" stage of pandemic policy.
I mean it seems like a selfish move by the US, but won't boosters for healthy individuals help lower the Rt and get much lower level of spread?
If transmission reduction is the goal, and if we're now doing policy by no data but here's a press release *wink wink FDA study forthcoming*, better bang for buck is to EUA the 5-12 single shot before the school year gets going even more. They will get infected and transmit.
18yo’s weren’t eligible to be vaxxed until March/April, with an 8 month gap wouldn’t that put their booster to Jan/Feb next year?
