@ScottGottliebMD Scott, I have teams in the field across the US vaccinating. We should have a massive federal campaign educating the public beginning 4-6 weeks prior to starting. My recommendation is plan it now, launch it by September preparing for the BA4 bivalent. But don't hold your breath.
@EricTopol Can we clarify to the world this is done in mice? And there were 3 group of 6 mice! Please do not use this to spread the myth to not worry about Omicron.
It is time for the CDC, all state and county health departments and leaders in the US and World to transition from using the term "booster" when describing the third injection ( or second with J&J). Effective immediately COVID mRNA vaccinations are now a three shot series.
@CDCgov It is time for the CDC and WHO to phase out the word "booster" when referring to an additional vaccination for COVID. It is the third required shot ( or second for J & J) in the series. Those with two shots have partial immunity. Tell the American people the truth please.
@Benioff@michaelmina_lab@GovHawaii @LtGovJoshGreen Marc,
Thank you for your incredible support of the Big Island of Hawaii. I am working this weekend to create broad access to Regeneron through out the state focusing on the Native Hawaiian, Pacific Island and other communities disproportionately affected by the Pandemic.
@dysmgptf Compared with real-time RT-PCR testing, the BinaxNOW antigen test had a sensitivity of 64.2% for specimens from symptomatic persons and 35.8% for specimens from asymptomatic persons, with near 100% specificity in specimens from both groups https://t.co/Ac47jRUATC
