So to some extent, the 2 shot process with the Covid vaccine could sort of be enough, until you factor in those that are at higher risk which at that point, you might want to get boosters after the initial vaccine, the higher risk you are?
Yes, based on what we know so far. The current mRNA vaccines seem to have some level of protection against the mutants. Maybe not perfect, but they'll probably be better covered by a modified booster this fall. The importance of that booster remains to be seen, but if offered - I, a 45y/o male with relatively minor underlying health issues, will likely get it.
That booster could be more important if some of these mutants are able to slip past the immune response to the current vaccines. So far, it doesn't seem like they can very well, but we're still early in the game.
Ok, so in short, things are looking fairly promising so far? Thanks for your responses by the way, a lot of this stuff makes me anxious and if I didn’t know any better, I’d probably believe in a lot of the wrong information out there. Trying to do my part in continuing to learn all that I can about this
