"Two jabs offer little protection against Omicron infection, UK data shows"

Dr Susan Hopkins, the UKHSA’s chief medical adviser, said: “I think what we’re seeing is that if you’ve had two doses more than three months ago, then it’s not going to prevent you from getting symptomatic disease.”
However, a Pfizer/BioNTech booster jab, given after an initial round of either Oxford/AstraZeneca or Pfizer, raised the level of protection, offering 70-75% protection against symptomatic infection.
Re: Vaccines - Covid 19
Meanwhile HHH is still working on 1st and 2nd doses. Tomorrow 15th, HH residents can WALK-IN for 1st dose at Bluport. Choice of AZ/SV/Sinopharm.
Those who had AZ on 16 Nov have a choice of Pfizer or Moderna for 2nd shot. Is this a preview of what boosters will be?

COVID-19 vaccine plus breakthrough infection may offer 'super immunity'
https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2021/12 ... 639774587/
Breakthrough infections in people who've been vaccinated against COVID-19 may trigger "super immunity" against coronavirus variants, including Omicron, according to a new study.
"The key is to get vaccinated. You've got to have a foundation of protection," said co-author Dr. Marcel Curlin, an associate professor of medicine at Oregon Health & Sciences University in Portland.
For the study, he and his colleagues collected blood samples from 52 people who were fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine.
Twenty-six, the control group, did not have breakthrough infections, while the other 26 had mild cases of COVID after vaccination. That included 10 participants with the highly contagious Delta variant, nine with non-Delta variants and seven with unknown variants.
In lab tests, live coronavirus was exposed to blood from the study volunteers in order to assess immune response. Compared to the control group, blood from those with breakthrough infections generated more antibodies -- and, the study found, those antibodies were much better at neutralizing the live virus.
The antibodies in the blood of people with breakthrough infections were as much as 1,000% more effective than antibodies generated two weeks after the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, researchers reported.
The study -- published online Dec. 16 in the Journal of the American Medical Association -- is the first of its kind, and researchers said it suggests that immune response triggered by a breakthrough infection is likely to be highly effective against current and future coronavirus variants.
"You can't get a better immune response than this," said senior author Fikadu Tafesse, assistant professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at OHSU.
He noted that these vaccines are "very effective" against severe disease. "Our study suggests that individuals who are vaccinated and then exposed to a breakthrough infection have super immunity," Tafesse said in an OHSU news release.
Curlin, who is also medical director of OHSU Occupational Health, thinks it all speaks to an eventual end game.
"It doesn't mean we're at the end of the pandemic, but it points to where we're likely to land: Once you're vaccinated and then exposed to the virus, you're probably going to be reasonably well-protected from future variants," he explained.
"Our study implies that the long-term outcome is going to be a tapering-off of the severity of the worldwide epidemic," Curlin added in the release.
Researchers did not look at the new Omicron variant, which was first reported in late November.
Based on the study findings, Tafesse said they anticipate that breakthrough infections from Omicron will generate a similarly strong immune response among vaccinated people.

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19
I see over 3,000 are listed for boosters on the HHH page. i.e. those who received double Sinopharm. No easy search function as they have simply posted screenshots.
Mainly Thai names, but I've spotted one Farang on the list (currently out of Thailand
) that I know.

So if Omicron proves to be a mild strain, then vaccinated people can queue for the Omicron jab as opposed to more vaccine and become 'super immune'!He noted that these vaccines are "very effective" against severe disease. "Our study suggests that individuals who are vaccinated and then exposed to a breakthrough infection have super immunity," Tafesse said in an OHSU news release.

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19
I see the Government has approved vaccines for 5 to 11 year olds.
It has often made me wonder what is going through youngster's minds when they catch Covid, in light of what gets said in the press.
One young relative was in tears for hours because she thought she was going to kill granny and granddad after she had been diagnosed with Covid.
Another friend's granddaughter has just been diagnosed in Scotland. Her mum is an ardent anti-vaxer, and is adamant Covid is a lie. Her mum is now very anxious that her daughter has caught a non-existent disease. Will she change her views - I very much doubt it. She is a Faslane Peace Camp protester as well
.
Kids aren't stupid, they see and hear what is going on. They must be thinking, despite what their parents say/think, that Covid is a death sentence. Already I see some parents shouting and screaming at the thought of little Johnny or Mary facing a jab, but surely if handled correctly it will give kids a huge peace of mind knowing that they've been protected, and it will improve their mental well being.
I remember the Corned Beef Typhoid outbreak as a lad, and we were all terrified that it was going to kill us all.
That was very small fry compared with Covid.
