More data that doesn't really tell us anything. I'm shocked this would actually be suitable enough for you. Nobody cares. You have immunity, I have immunity, Djokovic has immunity, we're all good, and Covid has dissipated. Thanks be to God.
"These early estimates include the period only through 119 days since vaccination, a relatively brief postvaccination period, with no substantial waning. Because consistent patterns of waning VE were observed after original monovalent and bivalent COVID-19 vaccination, waning of VE is expected with more time since updated vaccination, especially against less severe outcomes such as symptomatic infection. Additional analyses conducted at longer intervals since authorization of updated vaccines are needed for continued monitoring of expected waning and to determine how well vaccines are working to prevent severe disease."
Lots of coulds and woulds in here. Lame:
"Self-reported frequency of previous infections >90 days before testing differed by vaccination status and SGTF status, but statistical power was not adequate for stratification of results. Further, previous infection is likely underreported (7).
"Previous infection provides some protection against repeat infection (8) and U.S. adults have a high prevalence of infection-induced SARS-CoV-2 immunity.¶¶¶¶ Thus, VE in this analysis reflects the current situation among U.S. adults and can be interpreted as the incremental benefit of receipt of updated COVID-19 vaccine beyond existing vaccination-induced, infection-induced, or hybrid immunity."
Second, test registration questionnaires did not ask registrants about the number of updated vaccine doses received; therefore, the analysis might have included some persons who received >1 updated dose.
Third, these estimates are derived from a population choosing to be tested for SARS-CoV-2 and are potentially subject to selection biases related to these factors. In addition, updated vaccination coverage to date has been low (approximately 22% as of January 13, 2024*****) among persons aged ≥18 years and varies by age, which could bias results if persons being vaccinated earlier are systematically different from those vaccinated later. Thus, residual confounding might be present and could affect these early estimates.
"Finally, this analysis did not control for time since receipt of the most recent dose before the updated dose; however, because of waning effectiveness of previous doses, particularly against symptomatic infection††††† (9), this limitation -- likely -- had a minimal effect on results."
Imagine taking 5-6 vaccine doses and still being able to get sick with Covid.
