    Yes, these vaccines may be a three-dose primary series. The third dose doesn’t just “restore”—one gets better protection than ever. I read a lot of history and children die so often in those books. Not anymore, and this chart is why. Notice how many are three or four dose series. https://twitter.com/BotExemplary/status/1471324357913886724 …pic.twitter.com/fYSB4zDl8P

        What about young men and the small but real risk myocarditis after second shot compared to risk of Covid? Should an infection count like a dose? Sure, good questions. Some populations may have modifications. But, the booster data, including from randomized trials, seems clear.

        A key concern should be global equity and prioritizing vulnerable populations everywhere and figuring out dosing/type for sub-populations. (Yes the differences are worth figuring out).

        From ACIP. We routinely vaccinate children against diseases that kill fewer than Covid before vaccines. Something nice about keeping children alive. https://twitter.com/KEVINTICE7/status/1471328082615173121 …pic.twitter.com/ZaJN8Lclwy

        Many questions about J&J. See thread by scientist who is also a medical doctor.https://twitter.com/michaelzlin/status/1471262595478790148 …

        CDC could clarify and rationalize guidance, significantly improving understanding and health, by shifting to a simple counting system. "Make sure you get 3 shots, at most 1 J&J, and space them 2-6 months apart" is all they need to say

        Indeed 3 doses of COVID19 vaccines broaden the antibody response to cover variants more effectively, including Omicron.https://twitter.com/michaelzlin/status/1470804915668733953 …

        Now a very important result is that boosted vax is more effective on Delta and Omicron than unboosted recent vax. This is true even for Pfizer where WT neutralization is the same. As the vaccines are made to "WT" sequence, this means boosting is broadening the antibody response! pic.twitter.com/ManEKdCYZX

        this is an unfortunate repeat of vaccine discourse, repeating lack of seriousness with even 2nd receipt, obviously there is a possibility that it can wane again in 3-6months along w possibility/likelihood of more variant as omicron rages and gets more opportunities to attack

        And with DTaP/TdaP you’re still encouraged to continue getting boosters throughout adulthood, to protect young children and babies in your life! Very worth it imo and I would gladly take a 4th covid shot now and one a year forever like a flu shot.

        I was in a bike crash a few years back. Scrapes and bruises, but a trip to the hospital for x-rays (negative). PA came in and said "do you now when your last tetanus shot was?" I thought for a second and he said "today" and gave me a booster.
