"The FDA has determined that the currently available data support expanding the eligibility of a single booster dose of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines to individuals 18 years of age and older," Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research said. "Streamlining the eligibility criteria and making booster doses available to all individuals 18 years of age and older will also help to eliminate confusion about who may receive a booster dose and ensure booster doses are available to all who may need one."
Qualified people are eligible to receive the booster six months after their second shot of either the Pfizer or Modern vaccine was administered, the FDA confirmed. For those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the booster is available to them two months after the single dose.

ACIP is reviewing the booster data. Pfizer's slide only shows data for between greater than 7 days and less than 2 months.
So, no ****, it is effective for 2 months. The original vaccine was effective for that long. What about at 6 months.

Who knows? Only time will tell. But this makes sense based on what I've read.
How do they define "effective?" Effective at what? Did they say?
The article doesn't explain the prediction of effectiveness for 9 months but I assume they are testing Abs levels multiple times and projecting the decline rate will match some threshold after that period. Do you know if that is how this is done?Mormad said:https://www.timesofisrael.com/pfizer-booster-shot-could-offer-protection-for-9-10-months-initial-data/Wayland said:

Really easy to read meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharm mitigation on covid R, incidence, and mortality. Lots of limitations of such a study, which they do a good job pointing out limitations and biases. The best part of the study is quick, easy access to all the studies they link if one were ever interested.
HHS Regions 1, 2 & 3 coming to life like clockwork. Almost the exact same dates and rates of cases. But tell me again how vax rates and mask behaviors are the key to all of this? pic.twitter.com/bxnUta3aq0

Won't vax rates greatly reduce the impact from a hospitalizations and death standpoint, i.e., de-fanging the virus like Davie and Mormad have talked about? It seems like cases are here to stay and are seasonal like you've mentioned.Wayland said:HHS Regions 1, 2 & 3 coming to life like clockwork. Almost the exact same dates and rates of cases.

Got it - yeah seems like cases need to not be looked at as vax rates + therapeutics get approval. There are going to be cases, and it's impossible to tell who is / isn't testing and why. Need to focus on hospitalizations / death / ensuring access to vaccine + therapeutics in my amateur opinion.

Cases matter until democrats stop using them to justify their ridiculous ineffective mandates.
I like that you did admissions here, since I think there is an unknown floor to hospitalizations for the 'long term' patients that don't cycle quite the same. Still wish we had a better FOR/WITH designation.Daviewolf83 said:
I just replied to the latest scary holiday tweet from WRAL about cases rising for the past nine days and reaching the highest number since October 29 with the following (I included the graph you see below):
"Daily hospital admissions for this same period are trending flat (7-day avg). Since we now have vaccines effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death for all known variants, not all cases are equal. Focus should be on hospitalizations and not cases."
Will see how much the orange line starts to pull up to follow cases as backlog comes in.Wayland said:I like that you did admissions here, since I think there is an unknown floor to hospitalizations for the 'long term' patients that don't cycle quite the same.

Hopefully we can keep those numbers down for the next month or so until the main part of the winter wave rolls through.
