Agree. I was skeptical in summer—especially since the early data was so confounded. But since then, long before Omicron, we had high-quality data strongly suggesting this is a three-dose primary series. (Happens with many vaccines!). We must equitably vaccinate the world as such.https://twitter.com/priscillagilman/status/1466440935445782530 …

Looking at other vaccines, a three-shot primary series (once) and then a (maybe) annual booster (depending on whether a new variant emerges/circulation levels) for adults, and just adding this to childhood series would be my guess.https://twitter.com/truth_campaign/status/1466450587436949517 …

We had randomized, placebo-controlled observer-blind trials on the third shot, that's how.https://twitter.com/ArielKarlinsky/status/1466451738035118082 …

Yes, and not only because they, too, can get sick and even die—even if much much less so than adults—they can transmit. No child should face the burden of being in a transmission chain to their family. We vaccinate kids against much less deadly diseases.https://twitter.com/MatthewMarchant/status/1466455919848472583 …

Many. See below from the ACIP meeting. Also, infectious diseases are, well, infectious. Vaccinating children to protect them from the burden of being in the transmission chain that can sicken or even kill their family members is a perfectly good reason. https://twitter.com/Percy43555292/status/1466465048285614091 …pic.twitter.com/jNjTOJnDlJ

And yearly boosters would only be a temporary measure until a pan-vaccine is developed ... which research seems to think is possible, but will just take some time.https://twitter.com/KevinWNg/status/1466362535909773319 …

Calamity? I get a flu shot every year. This seems the same to me.

Getting a shot takes less time than a haircut or the annual checkup of my car! Grocery shopping takes me longer at least once a week! And don't get me started on how it compares to the time I waste on Twitter.

I think only a small fraction of people will bother to get the booster annually if they are not at great risk of getting seriously ill.

that doesn't mean boosters will be accepted by the general populous. in which case, it doesn't matter if they're simple or safe or effective. trust in american medicine as an institution seems to be at an all time low. we still need to hoe that row
