Dr. Topol, are you saying that mostly everyone who's just asymptomatic and tests negative for #Covid19 again after having recoveredfrom an #infection, should get a #booster shot *right away* and *not* wait the "customary" 6 months some countries' #CDC|s recommended last year?!?
While this issue has been somewhat controversial, the present study is important for showing that after infection, vaccination induces spike-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells
(Translation: get boosted, don't rely on prior Covid)
@HistoPol@erictopol Thanks for that information! In this case you can set your account to „I‘m a robot“. Then everybody would know… I will try to google the answer 🔬
When to get vaccinated again after recovering from #Covid19
Right on! 🤗 - Thanks for the article. Yes, Dr. #ManishaPatel, Chief Medical Officer of the US's virus watchdog, #CDC, answers our question in all relevant detail:
"Getting a COVID-19 vaccine [#booster shot] after you recover from COVID-19 infection 👉 provides added protection against COVID-19👈 . You 👉 may consider delaying your vaccine by 3 months.👈 However, certain 👉factors...
...could be reasons to get a vaccine sooner rather than later👈 , such as personal risk of severe disease, risk of disease in a loved one or close contact, local COVID-19 hospital admission level, and the most common COVID-19 variant currently causing illness.
People who already had COVID-19 and do not get vaccinated after their recovery are more likely to get COVID-19 again than those who get vaccinated after their recovery."
