Also, the antibody levels wear off after 5 months for people age 40 and over. For 65 and over, the risk of infection rises 10-fold. Booster shots, low dose vax for 2-11 year olds, and vax for immunocompromised are all in testing and development.

Places with a significant number of retirees like Florida are vulnerable since they had their vaccine in Dec-Feb.

What the ‘defined’ population is appears to be changing with variants -- Va AandM 08/13/2021 08:18AM
