Inpatient Week: Vaccinated Patients Less Severe
- Dr. Sydnee described finishing a week of inpatient hospital service and being exhausted from long hours and constant responsibility.
- She reported that every severely ill COVID patient she cared for that week was unvaccinated, while vaccinated patients were mostly incidental infections.
Omicron's Extremely Fast Spread
- Omicron spreads far faster than previous variants with a doubling time of 2–4 days, making widespread infection likely.
- Rapid spread means many vaccinated people will still get infected, but boosted immunity greatly reduces infection risk.
Get Your Booster To Raise Protection
- Get a COVID booster because two mRNA doses provide limited protection against infection but a booster raises protection substantially.
- Boosters reduce your chance of infection and help protect vulnerable people around you.
