Will you need a booster vaccine against Covid-19? ForbesFrontlines
comparing two periods of time in 2021 indicate that although there have been increasing rates of Covid infection in the vaccinated group over time, protection against severe disease and death has declined only slightly. The decline was greater in those 65 years and older. ICUs across the U.S. continue to be filled mostly with the unvaccinated. The CDC data only goes through July 2021, so it may not be the full picture of where we are headed.
Keep in mind that if you have been fully vaccinated, your immunity isn’t like a light switch – on one moment and off the next. If it is going to decline, it does so gradually over time. It would be nice if we had a crystal ball to know what the data in three or six months will show, but we don’t have that. People want answers quickly, but science doesn’t move at the speed of social media. It never will – and that is a good thing.
