As booster shots become available in the United States, many Americans are scrambling to get them. But are these shots the best use of our resources? Who really benefits from them and what is the most prudent way to use our vaccine supplies?

@CruzMonrreal3 years ago I deeply appreciate the disclaimers with dates.
Just thought I'd share that. 138
@

@JoeAuerbach3 years ago The real question for me is, "what happens to that dose if I don't get it?". Can it go to a low income country, or will it wind up as medical waste?
If it goes to someone who isn't vaccinated, I'd rather skip it.
If it goes in the trash, I'd rather get it ... 96

@Acquavallo3 years ago What makes something a booster as opposed to a two dose vaccine?
Is a booster simply the same thing as the original vaccine but delivered at a later time? Or is there a different formulation? 16
@

@terukiito81533 years ago Are there studies out there that look at the level of antibodies? I remember maybe two months ago seeing in Japanese news that concerns regarding waning immunity were rising because a study showed that in some vaccinated individuals, the antibody levels dropped significantly or just went to 0 after not that long. ... 3

@ElliotShayle3 years ago This was certainly an informative video, although I think it may have missed a couple of important points. Like, I don't think there was any mention of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, which is widely used here in the UK. Due to it's substantially lower cost, it's also likely to be a key vaccine for the global south as well.
Even though I also strongly agree with the central conclusion that developed nations should donate more vaccines, I feel it wasn't totally clear enough that this advice was from a population health perspective, rather than a personal health perspective. As a scientist, I picked up all the little caveats and distinctions. However, I imagine a vaccine hesitant individual might not pick up on that, but the dismissive tone and suggestion that we should be doing something else instead! I think it needed to be made more clear that these vaccines still have definite positive health effects for an individual offered one. Also, I wonder if booster vaccinations still give you side effects.
So yeah... For a video titled 'Should You Get a Covid Vaccine Booster?' I felt the 'you' part was a bit too lacking. It was more like 'are vaccine boosters a good strategy for dealing with the pandemic?' ... 35

@NethDugan3 years ago I'm a healthcare worker in the UK and in a vulnerable group and got my booster a bit back now. 5
@

@therabbithat3 years ago Here in Ireland around 92% of people over 16 are vaccinated and covid is still a problem, is still causing bottlenecks in our health service even though severe cases and death and long covid are impacting a smaller percentage of people who catch the virus. So what does the future of living with covid-19 look like? are we going to be in some level of restriction for the rest of my life? ... 28

@DB-um2rb3 years ago One big thing to consider: There really aren't many booster shots available anyway. I tried to schedule on near Boston and there were no boosters available for the next 3-4 weeks. 6

@milanfilipovic53383 years ago Happy he touched on the value of getting low income countries vaccinated. We can boost all we want but as long as new variants pop up in countries with low vaccine access, we will keep seeing the same story. 7

Either way, keep it up! ... 4

@

@huwguyver42083 years ago I don't have a problem in theory with people in developing countries getting their first two shots over my getting a booster if that is what is best to contain the virus, but my concern is that what will actually happen with unused doses here (Australia) is that they will not be given to the vulnerable in other countries, but rather will simply sit around in storage and expire. ... 5

@CarnisChampion3 years ago I wonder if we will have a situation where covid vaccine is a continues thing and if we will reach a point where we have to vaccinate to have a normal life. either way Pfizer etc will be getting rich from this for sure. 11
@

@stephenahancock3 years ago I had no reaction to my first two Pfizer vaccine shots. Three days after my booster shot I started experiencing episodes of lung discomfort and shortness of breath. Over the next month it became much worse to the point where I was feeling pressure in my chest during these attacks. I went to the doctor and they sent me for a CT scan to eliminate blood clots in the lungs. Tests came back negitive and the doctor diagnosed me with asthma. I was given Flovent HFA and Albuterol inhalants. That has helped the problem quickley and sgnificantly. I am 70 and never experianced any asthma symptoms before. I don't know if this was caused by the booster shot, and I'm sure I never will, or just a coincidence. I question Pfizer giving a full dose where Moderna's booster is half a dose. ... 39

@AnnikaOakinnA3 years ago I find it interesting that you stress so heavily that "serious infections" should be the metric rather than infections full-stop when people who experience lasting effects or Long COVID may not have been severely ill at the time of infection, nothing requiring medical intervention and yet symptoms lingering for months. I recognize that it mostly fits with how vaccines work generally, helping our immune system to respond faster if exposed but not always preventing infection altogether, but most of those diseases seem to have less lingering effects than COVID. How is "serious infection" defined? Do we have data on whether vaccination affects Long COVID outcomes (in either breakthrough cases or vaccinations after illness)? ... 36

@toychristopher3 years ago I want one but am I allowed to have one?
@

@robinm13313 years ago The question I have is based on individual behavior vs policy. Ideally we would be getting more vaccine to more places that dont have it rather than rely on booster shots for all but people at high risk. However, that is a policy decision and not something that I, as an individual, can directly change other than lending my voice to the cause. So what individuals are left with is the ethical quandry- given vaccines aren't currently being distributed equitably, is it a good or bad idea to get a booster shot when they are widely available in the states? ...

@Przemo-c3 years ago Is uptake of boosters really the limiting factor for distributing first and second doses to the unvaccinated?
Is there a benefit in terms of boosters and spread of the disease?

@larrybelo57643 years ago Ok I recommend dayly but government pond
@

@Emilissimi3 years ago Your last point regarding equity and new variations is maybe the single most important argument against giving booster shots. That being said, there are those who are immune suppressed/compromised that had little to effect from the initial two shots and thus can almost be regarded as non-vaccinated. I think one can argue for a booster shot for them, and maybe for the health-care workers (and that’s a BIG maybe) working closely with these patients. ... 7
@

@Sukidezu3 years ago So basically get it if your doctor recommends it based on your risk profile.
@

@michiganabigail3 years ago Great analysis! I’m interested if anyone has compared the efficacy of a booster for those who’ve already had covid. I thought that was kind of like a booster shot. Am I wrong? 3
@

@leifharmsen3 years ago Vaccine supply is not limited. With many Americans getting boosters we could easily see more bigger factories making far more vaccine available to the world for cheaper/dose than if we made due with less vaccine and aimed lower. Vaccine distribution need not be a zero sum game. ... 1

@SlimThrull3 years ago Has there been any data on the likelihood of a booster preventing getting Covid? I work at a fairly high risk job. My concern isn't so much for me (I'm 42 and have few additional risk factors), it's for those around me. If the booster makes it less likely for me to get and be able to spread Covid, then it's something I'd like to do. However, I haven't seen much data on the topic. ... 8

@ntcssj3 years ago I'm immunosuppressed because of Humira for Crohn's disease, so in Canada, I qualified last month and received my 3rd dose, but they haven't been starting 3rd dose boosters for the general population yet in my province.
I think that for immuno vulnerable populations, like myself, the 3rd booster shot makes sense. For every one else, I 100% agree that we should be allocating a LOT more resources to low-income countries for there to be more vaccine equity. ... 7

@SPClightnerd3 years ago Thank you for this video! I’m not immune compromised and have no pre-existing conditions, but with all the booster talk lately it was hard to cut through the static and get a clear picture as to weather or not I should get a booster at this point. I think getting my five year old vaccinated is a better use of my time and our states medical resources at this time. Obviously this changes every week but for now at least I have some handle on the data. I worry that the political win of getting shots in arms is overtaking sound medical advice here. ... 7

@

@p.g.81383 years ago I'm not against getting a booster. If they have proof the booster protects against ending up in hospital, that's good too. I do have a big problem with the booster in one area. Every person has different immunity after getting the original one or two shots. One person could have 95% immunity another could have 30% including those with a compromised immune system. Just giving every person a booster after 6 months doesn't seem right to me. If you already have a high percentage of immunity and get a booster it could cause side effects. I'm not getting my booster right to the day after 6 months for that reason. ... 4
