NACI now suggests Canadians consider a COVID-19 booster every 90 days

[AndrewX]

Sure...I don't think so. They're also telling people to go out after the fever is subsided and not wait for 5 days.

Just when you thought you knew everything about COVID-19 shot intervals along comes another suggestion.

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization said on Thursday that Canadians may consider getting a vaccine every 90 days, the tightest deadline to date, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“A shorter interval of at least three months may be warranted in the context of heightened epidemiological risk as well as operational considerations for the efficient deployment of the COVID-19 vaccination program,” a summary of a National Advisory Committee on Immunization statement said on Sept. 1.

Just weeks ago the Department of Health said a booster every nine months was sufficient.

“I understand that people can feel overwhelmed,” said Dr. Supriya Sharma, chief medical advisor to the health department.

“There’s a lot of information and the messaging has changed a little bit from the pandemic. We were at the beginning, you know, ‘Run, don’t walk, get your first vaccine, get the first vaccine that’s available to you.’ It was really straightforward in terms of that initial messaging. But it does get more complicated, right, because we are in a different situation.”

Dr. Howard Njoo, deputy chief public health officer, said a booster every six months “is not enough” due to waning effectiveness.

“If you’ve had a previous booster dose, whatever number you’ve had before, or infection, you should wait six months, but certainly based on local circumstances, other considerations, that interval may be decreased down to like three months or so,” said Njoo.

I suspect that as we get data on omicron specific vaccines, we will find a number of changes to recommended vaccine schedules.

Of course, but would it shock you to know that this is incredibly banal?

Here is the full paragraph.

NACI continues to recommend that COVID-19 booster doses may be offered at an interval of 6 months after a previous COVID-19 vaccine dose or SARS-CoV-2 infection, regardless of the product offered. However, a shorter interval of at least 3 months may be warranted in the context of heightened epidemiologic risk, as well as operational considerations for the efficient deployment of the COVID-19 vaccination program. A longer time between doses may result in a better response after any subsequent dose, as this allows time for the immune response to mature in breadth and strength.

Why is there a whole section about regulation of media content in AndrewX's post?
Did he just forget what he was copy pasting?

Huh? I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh good.
You edited it.

Thanks.
It's much better this way.

But editing it and claiming to not know what you are talking about is pretty scummy.

LOL I realized I had two pages from the sun open at the same time and posted parts of both. My bad, there was no intention to modify the article on purpose.

After all the denials, censorship, accusations of anti vaxer agenda, lying, etc. they are finally admitting what I and many other "crazies" said last summer- the shots are only good for max of three months.

That's what you got from the NACI statement?

Well it's a step up them crowd thinking it's good for three months after several years of spreading bullshit like "It's just the flu brah" and "vaccines don't work" and "vaccines will give you dick cancer or whatever"

Give it enough time and jcpro and his crowd might eventually get to the point of accepting that vaccines are safe and effective.

Also if he knows that many anti vaxxers either he hangs around mooks, is desperate to form an echo chamber or is straight up lying. Considering Covidiot and his behavior, all three are real and legitimate possibilities.

ROTFLMFAO!!! Effective "vaccine " that's good for 90 days. Now, that's science.

 

[Hands95]

A shot required every three months is not a vaccine. Period. And CDC's attempt to change the definition of vaccine does not make it so. Covid is a flu. Nasty, yes. Anyone who used to get an annual flu shot would likely want/need the covid shot. Great. But this polarization over the issue is ridiculous.

I'm sorry, can you show me where in this statement they are saying the vaccine is only good for 90 days and you should have a shot every 90 days?

Why go further than reading the anti-vax OP headline?

ROTFLMFAO!!! That's the IMPORTANT part or did you not read the article?

Dr. Howard Njoo, deputy chief public health officer, said a booster every six months “is not enough” due to WANING EFFECTIVENESS.

“If you’ve had a previous booster dose, whatever number you’ve had before, or infection, you should wait six months, but certainly based on local circumstances, other considerations, that interval may be decreased down to like three months or so,” said Njoo.

If you don't know how to read you probably shouldn't laugh at other people or for that matter try to engage in intelligent conversation with them.

Njoo's statements cleary say the shots are good beyond 3 months, just not as good. Also under circumstances the interval could go down to three months.
Which means you can go beyond that point... thus still effective to a degree.

Will you retract or apologize. Of course not.

They see what they want to see and twist words to fit their narrative. It's quite entertaining to witness although at the same time alarming.

What circumstances? The data out of Israel in the summer of 21 showed the falling off efficacy of the vaccines around the 90 days mark. This is common knowledge by now. The Ontario's health authorities are now following the actual science as understood at this point, even if they're trying to lessen the impact. I'm not sure what you people are following.
