Moderna announced people may need a second booster to increase protection, but many doctors are pushing back.
A UCSF doctor says if we had a two-month waiting period in between the first two doses of Pfizer and Moderna we may be in a little better place.
For the rest of the population he recommends, two vaccine doses, one booster and Pfizer's Paxlovid pill when infected. "For example, you develop symptoms and you rapidly get tested, ideally within the first three days, and you go on Paxlovid. That will keep you also out of the hospital," said Dr. Greene."I think it's hard to have a CEO dictate our policy and companies who stand and make money for it," said Dr. Gandhi."It trains your immune system wrong. It doesn't train your immune system to recognize a variant.
"But if we boost, let's boost with a better vaccine. Not the one against the original strain of the virus that emerged. Redesign the vaccine so that it is delta, omicron so that we can deal with the viruses that are in circulation now. So, to use the old vaccine to me, to buy a few weeks of protection, I'm just not all in for sure," said Dr. Greene.RELATED:"Hopefully this will be it and then we'll boost again in the future kind of based on, as immunity goes down.
