I have a question for the knowledgeable scientist-minded ones in the audience. Why aren’t we using the vaccine with BA1 WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION recommends instead of BA5?
 
I have a question for the knowledgeable scientist-minded ones in the audience. Why aren’t we using the vaccine with BA1 the WHO recommends instead of BA5?
“Pfizer and Moderna have both done studies in human volunteers showing that vaccines made from the BA.1 variant increase antibody titers that can neutralize Omicron strains. Similar data exist for vaccines containing previous strains. The FDA, based in part on the advice of an expert panel it convened in June, has decided that the best course is to match the vaccines to the BA.5 strain, which is causing the vast majority of U.S. Covid cases. The WHO is advising countries to use shots that contain BA.1. Either way, the shots also contain antigen from the original, or “wild type,” strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”
 

I just scheduled my updated booster. Supposedly includes omicron B5. I’ll take the jab as a preventative since we have lost 6 folks in our family who had other health issues but once they got Covid- it finished them off. Four upper-middle age various ailments, 1 young with asthma, one 80’s. I’m obese so ….Would be better to lose weight, get healthier, exercise and have better nutrition but until that gets mastered will take the updated jab. In my part of Maryland- near the Capitol and universities, folks are already jamming the website for the vaccine. There was an appointment at CVS open for 5 am and 6 am- they crashed the website and then the appointments were gone for Moderna. CVS’s that have Pfizer seemed to have a lot more appointments open
