Covid Immunization Update - People ask me if they can 'mix' immunizations. Yes. If you got Pfizer initially you can get Moderna - and visa versa. 8 months post 2nd shot looks like the 'sweet spot.'

Important Covid Booster Update –
It looks like 8 months is the “Magic Number” when you’ll need your Covid Booster. Three 3 shot regimen is common. HPV and Hepatitis B need 3 shots. Covid immunization seems to follow the same schedule.

Covid Booster Update? So why does it take the The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practice, ACIP so long to decide on boosting the rest of us? Because tons and tons and tons of data take a long time to make sure that they get it right.

[Zorba Paster @DRZORBA]

Important Covid Booster Update -Only approved for those at high risk. But what about the rest of us? The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practice, ACIP, is still looking at the data.

Important Covid Booster Update –Right now it’s only approved for those at high risk.

If you know someone who is hesitant gently talk to them. This vaccine is as safe as all the other vaccines such as polio, tetanus, pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis, and shingles. #covid, #COVID19, #vaccine

Covid Vaccine Side Effect Update –
Many feel achy, with flu like symptoms after the 2nd injection and I did after the booster but that's a small price to pay to keep safe. #covid, #COVID19, #vaccine

Covid Cure Hoax –
Word is spreading that Ivermectin, a drug used for roundworms, threadworms, and other parasites works for Covid. Don’t believe it. Anyone who says it works is spreading a hoax. It's phony, It's a fraud. It's dangerous. #COVID19, #covid

[Zorba Paster @DRZORBA]

370 million vaccines given as of today. 52% of the population is fully immunized - Great News. #covid, #COVID19, #vaccine

J&J Covid Vaccine Booster Update –
If you got the J&J vaccine you’ll probably need a booster too. It’s unpublished research. We’ll see if this stands up to the scrutiny of the FDA and others in the scientific community. #Covid, #immunization

[Zorba Paster @DRZORBA]

I had a patient in my office yesterday who just had a blood clot to the lung, pulmonary embolism. She wondered if she should get vaccinated. Yes. Yes. Yes. With the Pfizer or Moderna Vaccine. #Covid, #covidimmunization, #immunization

[Zorba Paster @DRZORBA]

Covid Booster - It doesn't matter which one you get - Pfizer or Moderna - they use the same mRNA technology. Mix and Match is OK. #Covid,#Immunization,#Covidimmunization,#pfizer,#Moderna

[Zorba Paster @DRZORBA]

Covid Vaccine Booster Update –
If you got the J&J vaccine you’ll probably need a booster too. Unpublished research from J&J shows that the antibodies to Covid increase 9 times after a booster. Wow! #Covid, #immunization

[Zorba Paster @DRZORBA]
