MIAMI (CBSMiami) — The CDC says that the majority older Americans bought their first booster dose many months in the past, and that’s leaving people who’re susceptible with out continued safety.
On Friday morning, Miami Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava obtained her second booster dose.
Cava is urging people within the county to do the identical as positivity charges climb.
Meantime, the CDC strengthened their suggestions Thursday, advising these 12 and older who’re immunocompromised and people 50 and older ought to obtain a second booster no less than 4 months after their first.
“The reason it seems less dangerous is because of prior immunity in our population but unfortunately immunity weans whether it’s a natural infection or a vaccine, which is why there’s such an importance of getting this other booster,” says Dr. Aileen Marty, infectious illness knowledgeable.
While the push now’s for these older Americans to get the second dose, they do account for the very best protection of any age group of first booster doses.
