[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got COVID two months ago. I got the flu vaccination last week. I'm good.[/quote]
But how do you know which strain you got? You might need the new Covid vaccine for the current strains.[/quote]

If you got Covid 2 months ago that is probably a more up to date strain compared to the vaccine. [/quote]

New pp here. I also got covid 2 months ago by coincidence. We aren’t even supposed to get the new vaccine for three months so I get it in February at the earliest.[/quote]

Same here.  I had covid back in early October.  My PCP suggested I wait 3 months before getting the updated vaccine.[/quote]
Less than a month away.  You can mask in the meantime.  (FYI:  only n95 is effective in protecting YOU)[/quote]

PP just had it, why do they need a mask?[/quote]
PP's doctor told her to wait to get the new vaccine.  The masking will help possibly protecte her in the meantime.  [/quote]
PP already has immunity to a more recent covid strain than what is in the booster. [/quote]
I think there might be multiple strains circulating at the same time.  (Check out the CDC for more info)[/quote]
Yes, there are. But the booster strain (XBB.1.5) is not one of them. It was prevalent in the spring/early summer but is now virtually gone, accounting for only 0.1% of current covid cases. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#variant-proportions

The rapid evolution of covid is one reason Cornell did not mandate the new booster this fall. "analysis by the Cornell COVID-19 modeling team found that mandating vaccination for the fall 2023 semester would not result in a substantial reduction in the spread of infection. This is due to factors such as existing vaccination rates, recovery from previous infection, and rapidly evolving variants." https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/20230428-vaccine-updates.cfm[/quote]
Are you saying to refer to Cornell's guidelines over the CDCs when decision making about vaccines???[/quote]
