Immunocompromised people may get less protection from mRNA vaccines: new study

Wed, 2021-11-03 17:57 — mike kraft

Two Doses of mRNA COVID Vax Not Enough for the Immunosuppressed Largest study yet supports extra doses for these patients Crystal Phend medpagetoday

COVID-19 vaccines worked fairly well in keeping immunocompromised patients out of the hospital from the infection, but still less than for those with a competent immune system, a study showed.

After two vaccine doses, immunocompromised patients saw 77% vaccine effectiveness (95% CI 74%-80%) against hospitalization for confirmed COVID-19, with a 3.9% rate of SARS-CoV-2 test positivity in hospital compared with 11.8% among those who were unvaccinated.

The Navajo nation faces surging virus cases: outside contacts seem to counter high vaccination rates

Wed, 2021-11-03 12:31 — mike kraft

The virus is surging on the Navajo Nation, despite high vaccination rates

The Navajo Nation managed to tame Covid-19 earlier this year, mounting a campaign that drove its vaccination rate far above the United States average, after the virus ravaged the Navajo people.

But now the nation — the largest reservation in the United States — is enduring yet another virus surge, and experts and tribal leaders aren’t sure why. Other highly vaccinated tribes are also contending with a resurgent virus.
