Why are COVID boosters being given after 8 months? Experts weigh in:
-CoV-2 infections among the fully vaccinated account for 20% of cases in six of the seven states cited in areport, for example. Researchers also suggested that hospitalization and deaths associated with breakthrough cases could be higher than previously appreciated.
More evidence will be needed, Wisnivesky said, before public health officials can recommend that someone who received one mRNA vaccine switch to another for their booster shot."With this Delta variant, it does appear that the possibility of reinfection or of a disease case breaking through vaccination can occur. So that makes it even more important to consider using non-pharmaceutical interventions while we continue to vaccinate people.
Among 510 WebMD readers responding to a similar poll, 82% indicated they wanted a booster shot as well.According to CDC data, as of August 18, almost 169 million Americans are fully vaccinated, including the one-shot Johnson and Johnson adenovirus vaccine.
