Healthy people should get annual COVID-19 boosters to prevent widespread outbreaks, a new study from Yale University suggests.
While federal officials have suggested annual shots, this study is the first to examine the long-term outcomes from a booster schedule and the first to show that boosters will be especially effective at intervals of no more than a year. focused on people with healthy immune systems. Townsend and his colleagues are starting work on a similar study looking at the optimal vaccine interval for people with weakened immunity from cancer treatment and other health problems.
For healthy people,"annual boosting really makes a difference," said Alex Dornburg, an expert in bioinformatics at the University of North Carolina Charlotte and study co-author. The virus continues to evolve,"so we need to continually evolve the booster and keep it updated to the most prevalent variant," Hassley said.
In his own case, he felt terrible for two days after his first round of shots. When he caught COVID-19, though, his lungs hurt for weeks and he was winded climbing a single flight of stairs. Catching COVID-19 does provide protection against future infections, but like the vaccine, this fades over time, at roughly the same pace, Townsend said. "You can't end up in the hospital for an infection you didn't get," Townsend said.
This isn't even a thing anymore, get a life
melody84_s Where are the long-term outcome studies coming from?
So the boosters now reduce 'infections,' or does it reduce overall effect so a person isn't hospitalized? Which one is it?
This is fake news!!!! We all know neither the OG dose and the booster prevents transmission so what do you mean it will reduce infection?
So now we have to continuously take this thing? I got very sick the last time I took the booster. I had blood clots that even the doctors couldn’t figure out where they came from. They said it was a mystery. I’m still taking blood thinners
The vaccine was worse than the illness. I'll pass next time after taking the vaccine and the booster only to get covid anyway
How can u have real data when boosters havent even bee out for a year.
How much is USA today getting paid for promoting these shots?
What's the cumulative effect on the heart?
Have fun! They obviously don't teach anyone about natural immune systems at yale.
Never
When nearly every vaccinated passenger on a cruise ship becomes infected, the vaccine apparently doesn't stop transmission at all.
Ha Ha every day!!
Didn't studies show that the boosters might be less effective than the original shots?
Y'all are like addicts..ya just can't stop
You mean like the flu shot 🤣Didn't yale get NIH funding. Talk about blatantly paying for science. Here is it, $512 million from NIH in 2020. I wonder what they got this year? Shame on you USA today for not calling this out.
How many is the average heart supposed to be able to withstand?
🤣🤡🤣

How often do you need to get myocarditis?
And how many strokes can we expect
Dies sind klare Falschinformationen - selbst wenn man das Narrativ ernst nimmt.
Trash can water? No thanks.
Insane. I've had none and when I got Covid it was basically just a cold. I can't imagine buying into this crap.
