Covid-19 vaccine boosters can begin for some US adults as CDC partially diverges from its advisers’ recommendations<\/a>
\nI, for one, am glad whenever individuals are allowed make their own decisions in their own interests. As far as I can tell, the evidence for “harm” is in the “we worry until we have absolute, full and complete proof that something hypothetical doesn’t happen” category. Yes, we don’t have full and complete evidence. But the booster safety evidence we have<\/i> appears to be that the boosters are safe and this seems especially so for people with my<\/i> demographics.<\/p>\n

So, I’m glad the CDC head Wallensky is expanding the permission to get boosters to “people whose jobs put them at risk of infection.” These evidently include medical personnel teachers and so on. Some worry this is too broad because lots<\/i> of people who want<\/i> boosters will argue their jobs put them at risk. Yep. Lots<\/i> of people who want<\/i> the boosters will so argue.<\/p>\n

For now, the extension is only for Pfizer, but it bodes well for access to Moderna and J&J when the data are provided. I had J&J. The protection from 1 shot is less than 2 from the others. I eagerly await being able to get a booster. I got my original shot because tutor seems to fall under “teacher”; I plan to get my booster the same way.<\/p>\n

I was not too thrilled from being “protected” against getting a booster.<\/p>\n
