With pre-Omicron variants, you can consider prior infection as one vaccine dose. Here is the approximate hierarchy of short-term immunity provided by circulating antibodies (6 months since last vaccine or infection): (2 doses of vaccine + booster) > (2 doses of vaccine + infection) > (2 doses of vaccine) = (1 dose of vaccine + infection) > (1 dose of vaccine = infection) Long-term immunity provided by T-cells is quite good with 2 doses of vaccine and much better with booster. Much of this short-term protection does not hold for Omicron, but T-cell immunity is still present. And Omicron is inherently milder. So, the news is good. In summary, vaccinated/boosted/prior-infected individuals can rest more easy than others. But still do the easy things like masking indoors and in crowded areas, and avoid unnecessary travel and gatherings. Cheers mate...this is some nice info to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I read from others like @zen who had delta was more severe shortness of breath and headaches. Insomnia for me though GWS buddy! coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is there any reason why boosters are opened only for 60+ now? Surely it is not a supply issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 5 hours ago, ash said: Is there any reason why boosters are opened only for 60+ now? Surely it is not a supply issue. I think its due to caution about the booster in general and the fact that we have dependence on different vaccines than what have been used as boosters in the west. The other countries are primarily using mRNA vaccines even for AZ/J&J vaccinated individuals while our current mechanism seems to be using the same vaccine (AZ/Covaxin) as the earlier shots for booster purposes. I would have preferred the Novavax as booster given that its supposed to have milder side effects and had good initial efficacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomGuy Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Mumbai has peaked perhaps...2 days back test positivity was 29.9% yesterday it was 28.8%...now anticipating sharp decline, but after 1 week, as once 29% population has suddenly (sharp increase) become positive, they will take 1 week to test negative...

ravishingravi Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I think we could easily hit 1 million cases. But that doesn't concern as long as hospitals have capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
