(44,530 posts)62. 4 experimental jabs in 11 months is enough for us, barring some new psycho variant
Our T-cells are loaded for bear, so antibody counts are the not the be-all and end-all.
The doctors doing the study here said there are no plans (atm, again barring a radically different and dangerous variant) for a 5th jab five months from now (the 4th jab was exactly, to the day, 5 months after the 3rd jab (first booster).
I hope that the US Army designed 'universal' jab pans out. These boutique, variant tweaked jabs do not seem to be coming to 'market' anyway, as the variants they are designed for have all been supplanted by new ones (I am sure the same thing will happen with our Omicron jab, and to a point, it already has, as our jabs were made for the original BA.1 Omicron, not the newer BA.2 Omicron sub strain).

There is no real world data showing BA.2 causes more serious illness than original Omicron.

You didn't qualify your statement. You stated flat out that you could not give or receive omicron.
