Primero entender q dosis de refuerzo es distinto a dosis adicional
šDOSIS ADICIONAL se da a personas q con esquema inicial no alcanzaron la protecciĆ³n deseada debido a una condiciĆ³n particular del sistema inmune deprimido por terapias de cĆ”ncer, transplante de Ć³rgano, etc

En este contexto es q debemos dar refuerzo para hacer un RECORDATORIO al sistema inmune y ponerlo de nuevo alerta para protegernos

Last week I took care of 3 covid patients ages 34, 29, & 26. All three required a ventilator to breathe and had covid kidney, blood clot, and lung complications. All three were unvaccinated. ā

I asked each of the three young men what held them back from getting the vaccine. 1/n

This is what each said to me: ā
34 year old: "I wish I did if I knew this was going to happen to me." ā
29 year old: "My sister had covid and then I got covid. I didn't really think to get the vaccine before that." ā

The one thing they all had in common was a lack of access to trusted & accurate information.

I did a @fox32news w @SylviaFOX32 on the new @US_FDA approval of Pfizer today. Interview link to follow. I made an analogy that I want to mention here.

In the US, it is legal to drink alcohol if you are over 21. You can drink as much as you want. It is your choice. But you cannot get into a car and drive if you are inebriated. Why is that? Because we are members of a society.
If your car were to hit someone else or damage property, you would be responsible. Also, you would be arrested because it is against the law to drive when intoxicated, even if you never hurt anyone else. Why is that a law when itās your personal choice to drink alcohol?
I havenāt been posting much original content lately bc, tbh, Iāve been a bit burned out. And school is about to start. But Iāve been seeing some wacky posts and theories lately, some from ārespectedā HCW who, I personally feel, have become more contrarian for personal gain.
1. Regarding whether masks workā¦I canāt believe we are still having this discussion. Surgeons have used masks for years for infection control. And re:#COVID19 the data is there. For those calling for placebo controlled trials, those would be unethical.

2. About kids and masks. Ppl r worried kids development will be stunted. I argue not being able to attend in person school when #covid19 spreads bc kids arenāt masking is a bigger developmental issue. We know #masksWork to keep kids in school.

The @CDC confirmed 221 cases of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination in people 30 and under of 141.5 M fully vaccinated people in the US.
Of the 221 cases:
81% fully recovered
41 still have symptoms
15 are still hospitalized
3 are in the ICU (2 have prexisting conditions) 2/n

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle. Pericarditis is inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. They occur when the immune system reacts to an infection or another trigger but often, no cause is found. Symptoms are: shortness of breath, chest pain & fatigue. 3/n
Again, a cable news host has used an anti-vaccine trope that discourages vaccination. This time "If you are #vaccinated, why do you care if others aren't." This thread explains herd immunity & why high #vaccine uptake matters. #tuckercarlsonmustgo 1/7
The MOST important thing your #vaccine will do is protect you. In this same way, the MOST important thing your car's brakes do is stop your car. 2/7 #ThisIsOurShot #WeCanDoThis #CarGuysImmunize #VaccinesWork
If you are less likely to get sick because you are #vaccinated , you are also less likely to get others sick. You could break the chain of transmission, and your #vaccine protects those around you! (And if your car brakes work, you won't plow into other cars!) 3/7

But look at all these terrible deaths on #VAERS, #TuckerCarlson says? Not so fast! Look at the disclaimer, first. Just because it was reported does not mean #vaccines were the cause!
Gettingāabout how #COVID #vaccines were tested & granted EUAs so quickly? I sure am, esp from folks "on the fence" or taking the "wait & see" approach.

As of today, we have delivered 10 million #COVID19 vaccines across Canada! Hereās how weāre working with provinces and territories to protect communities:
In Newfoundland, 129,060 vaccines have been delivered and 69,851 doses have been administered across the province. More info on Getting the Shot: gov.nl.ca/covid-19/vacciā¦
In PEI, weāve delivered 39,585 vaccines and they have administered 25,153 doses. Islanders can learn more here: princeedwardisland.ca/en/informationā¦

Only 52% of HCWs have gotten at least 1st Dose.
And perhaps even more striking is that 30% donāt plan on being vaccinated or are yet to decide!

It was an amazing event that got almost 500 shots in the arms of #LatinX people. @LATIN19NC collaborated with La cooperativa Latina Credit Union, La Semilla, @CentroHispanoNC Southeastern healthcare @HumansOfPRN @Curamericas, @DukeHealth and @DukeRaleigh to make this happen.
We collectively made over 3000 phone calls and multiple TV, and Facebook live appearances to fight mistrust, answer questions, share stories and bring #latinx people from never making it into a list or multiple waiting lists to getting a #COVIDVaccine
Most people receiving the vaccine today were older than 65, a few were parents of children with complex needs, Ā some were health care workers and some were school employees. We followed @ncdhhs guidelines covid19.ncdhhs.gov/vaccines to register people for #VacunasCOVID19

I wrote most of this as a series of DMs to someone with some vax anxiety recently. Sharing now (with permission) in case itās still useful to anyone. Thought it was all fairly well known by now, but Iāve been hearing more āgene therapyā and ānot a vaccineā nonsense again lately
Your immune system is great at killing things that shouldn't be in your body, once it's learned to recognise them. This takes time, which is why it takes weeks to get over a flu. Your body needs this time to produce a targeted weapon against the virus. That weapon? Antibodies
The COVID19 vaccine struggle rages on, w many (including this author) arguing that we have too many doses lying in wait - and that we should overlap 1A+1B.
But Iām realizing this is an overly health system-centric view - weāre nowhere close to done w 1A. 1/

In 24h, we @OakStreetHealth saw 1000+ Chicago community HCWs signal they want the vaccine, most in small independent practices.
In the first 30min, 500 signed up for vaccine appts. š³
Just because the AMCs have doses to burn doesn't indicate we've reached a saturation point 2/

We can open access faster - but we've got to go fast (getting #NeedlesIntoArms for eager in 1b + independent HCWs in 1a) and slow (to build trust among hesitant).

I know a lot of pregnant women and people of color are nervous about getting the #CovidVaccine. I am 32 weeks and 1 day today and just received the @pfizer vaccine. I feel like #ThisIsOurShot to protect us and our babies. I am a #PowerMom and will post how I feel how I react so
You can follow along and hopefully this gives others peace of mind. You donāt want to be pregnant and get Covid. Trust that I will be honest with you as we go on this journey together. #BlackMamasMatter #BlackMaternalHealth
#ThisIsOurShot Update after my first dose of the @pfizer #COVIDVaccination. Did great overall. Arm soreness started about an hour after; no worse than from a flu shot. I will tell you though for my fellow #PowerMom who are still working and or have other kids

While only a few people have had allergic reactions to the COVID vaccine, it has gotten a lot of attention. Just want to remind everyone that even bodies who like to have anaphylactic reactions can get this vaccine safely.
I didnāt have any allergic reactions, and I donāt even have a sore arm. My only reactions have been giddiness and laughter. Ok, I also got teary-eyed.
And while this feels me with hope, joy, gratitude, spike proteins, and antibodies...
