A study published Tuesday by the CDC confirms the importance of getting a new shot to boost immunity against the coronavirus, which continues to evolve and produce immune-evading variants as winter closes in.
. The new boosters — the only shots available at pharmacies and doctors’ offices across the country — appear to offer only a modest increase in protection against infection.
But Beaudoin and others described the study as “underwhelming” because it does not shed light on such key questions as the ability of the new boosters to protect against severe disease.That raises questions about the goal of the bivalent vaccines, according to Paul Offit, director of the vaccine education center and professor of pediatrics in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, the virus continues to evolve so fast that the BA.4 and BA.5 variants are no longer dominant.The study, which drew on data from the Increasing Community Access to Testing program — a program designed to make testing more available in areas with high social vulnerability — included more than 350,000 tests at almost 10,000 retail pharmacies between Sept. 14 and11, among adults who reported symptoms consistent with covid.
