Some Americans who plan to get the shot, designed to target the most common omicron strains, said they are waiting because they either had COVID-19 recently or another booster. They are following public health advice to wait several months to get the full benefit of their existing virus-fighting antibodies.
Biden later acknowledged criticism of his remark about the pandemic being over and clarified the pandemic is “not where it was.” The initial comment didn’t bother Murphy. She believes the disease has entered a steady state when “we’ll get COVID shots in the fall the same as we do flu shots.” Some Americans who got the new shots said they are excited about the idea of targeting the vaccine to the variants circulating now.
“We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over,” Biden said while walking through the Detroit auto show. “If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing.
“That soundbite is there for a while now, and it’s going to spread like wildfire. And it’s going to give the impression that ‘Oh, there’s nothing more we need to do,’” Salemi said.
Jab up snowflakes!
Never got a flu shot in my life and l never got the flu. No covid vax for me either. Stay healthy and keep your immune system strong.
Is this the one that was tested on NO humans and only 8 mice? Who got Covid
That's a good start! Hopefully more people will follow this example!
CamillaR_TV Got mine
Because Biden said it like once and then never again. In the beginning of 2021 all networks at all hours of the day were telling us to get vaccinated!
I don't think 1.3% is gonna quite get us to herd immunity lol
If you follow science, you had 4 jabs in one year, yet still getting infected & sick.
Got mine and you can get Pfizer if you had Moderna and vise versa
Get your booster and flu shot ! Massage your arms afterwards reduces the length of the soreness. I hate needles but I got both last week. All done until next year
I am not getting it. Each of the 3 shots put me in bed for 7 days each time. My mother is still sore from the flu shot after a week.
So what happens when BA4.6 arrives?
So less than one percent?
new strains already; the virus doesn't care about stupid human
Still pushing a vaccine that is approved for emergency use only. If you are elderly or have underlying health conditions, benefits outweigh the risks, but if you're healthy, it's a crap shoot. Phase IV trials, long term effects, have not been completed. Myocarditas, SADS are real
why is Washington state paying its employees $1000 to get the booster?
Why
FireyTopaz I did.
Get your booster shot!
So where is data ; there are 4.4 Million Americans had Bivalent Ba4 Ba5 Dose still we have the data from 8- 9 mice for Ba4 Ba5 and the data from Ba1 What kind of success is this ?
RIP
This is like the 12th shot this year?
And a large portion of that group will end up with heart problems
Oh really? A whopping 1% of Americans. Sad! India has had about 400 million+ get the COVAXIN vaccine that doesn't need an “upgrade.” Stop avoiding COVAXIN & grant Ocugen the US_FDA approval they've been seeking since November 2021!
I’ve known more people with Covid after the boosters then I knew before vaccines were even around.
'Only' 4.4 mil out of 330 mil. You're trying so hard, but failing so, so badly.
