The Pfizer Vaccine and do people who had COVID already need the vaccine?

[tmendy226]

Possibly, some benefit, but not enough to warrant taking a slot that would be taken by a higher-risk person.  go to each of the various websites and reload every so often until a cancelation causes a slot to open up and quickly sign up.

They only use 27% of the vaccines they have in the state so I'm not too worried about that...

(of course, I am getting it in a legal way)

Yes stronger and longer lasting protection, aside from access benefits to hotels and countries etc and lack of quarantine obligations

Can you please link to a study/doctor who says this with "certainty" (meaning not just a "maybe").

Regarding quarantine, hotels, countries, I could not find any country or hotel etc which makes exception for vaccinated peole. can you please link to that?

Thank you.

It's now close to 50%. It took a few weeks, but they're finally figuring it out.

Does 50% mean they left the other 50% for second doses or it’s 25+25

No it means they used 50% of what they received. States weren't receiving the 2nd dose until 3/4 weeks after the first.

Now that they've opened public vaccine sites they'll use their allocation fast

Nevertheless, DW and I still had difficulty yesterday trying to book an appointment for her grandfather. There was no availability, and then when something opened up, it was quickly snatched up.

So that would jive with this:

Yup, but that's an understatement. @biobook is a genius.

Ah, got it.

The group in Israel is all over 60 - perhaps older people take longer to produce immune response than younger group studied by Pfizer.

So one thing I've learned over the past year on DDF is that I should stop searching for answers or trying to reason them out. If I just keep my mouth shut (and my fingers still), within a short time some brilliant journalist or tweeter will provide a more accurate, knowledgeable, and eloquent response.

Same data as this:

Or another study confirming the same numbers?

After 23 days there is a 60% drop

This is nice, quick, and transparent data analysis. Can’t wait to see the data in a month, when we’ll have more clarity on 2nd dose results.

Anybody who doesn’t get vaccinated is endangering other people’s lives, and even people who had Covid should get vaccinated.

Israeli MoH publishes new guidelines that allow vaccinating kids under 16 in cases with severe risk factors

https://twitter.com/yair_kraus/status/1354137220433764360?s=21


ETA: Every child requires an individual authorization sign off from the MoH committee chairman.

ETA: Every child requires an individual authorization sign off from the MoH committee chairman.

That’s because:
1. They’re at risk and it could be extra dangerous for them
2. The vaccine wasn’t proven safe in children in clinical trials

P.s. This is a bit of a tangent from the thread topic, typical for DDF

I read the thread title to encompass general elements of the Pfizer Vaccine, as opposed to the others that are focus on the timeline and Israel

And I read it to a narrower focus asking/discussing whether those who recovered from an infection need to get vaccinated

It appears R’ Yitzchok Scheiner got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine more than 2 weeks ago.

My cousin got COVID just after getting his second dose, although it seems he was exposed around a week after his first dose.

R’ Mendel Slomowitz currently has COVID, around 2.5 weeks after his first dose (I think Moderna).
