Adults who aren\u2019t current on their COVID-19 vaccine booster doses<\/u><\/a> may have “relatively little remaining protection” against hospitalization compared to those who haven\u2019t been vaccinated at all, suggests a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The study spanned multiple states and examined more than 85,000 hospitalizations of people with “COVID-like illness.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr. Shana Johnson, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician in Scottsdale, Arizona<\/u><\/a>, was not involved in the CDC study but reviewed its findings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PRIOR COVID INFECTION PROVIDES JUST AS MUCH PROTECTION AS VACCINES, NEW STUDY FINDS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The good news, Johnson said, is that the bivalent mRNA vaccine protects against the most severe COVID-19 outcomes<\/u><\/a>, including hospitalization and critical disease (ICU admission and death), Johnson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The not-so-good news: The durability or duration of protection was not great, she noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For adults, the vaccine effectiveness dropped from 62% at two months after vaccination to 24% at four to six months for protection against COVID-19 hospitalization,” Johnson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Durability was better for preventing critical COVID-19 disease<\/a>, at 50% at four to six months after vaccination.”<\/p>\n

The vaccine was found to be effective for longer periods in people without immunocompromising conditions (weakened immune systems).<\/p>\n

“These data support updated recommendations allowing additional optional bivalent COVID-19 vaccine doses for certain high-risk populations,” the CDC stated in a discussion of the study findings on its website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“All eligible persons should stay up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccines.”<\/p>\n

Despite the CDC\u2019s September 2022 recommendation that all vaccinated people 12 years and older should receive a booster dose, the vast majority of Americans have not received it.<\/p>\n

WOMEN MORE LIKELY TO SUFFER FROM \u2018LONG COVID,\u2019 BUT HEALTHY HABITS CAN LOWER THE RISK<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

As of May 10, 2023, only one in five (20.5%) U.S. adults had received a bivalent booster dose.<\/p>\n

And most of that group had received their last vaccine dose more than a year ago, the CDC reported in the study findings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Uptake has been quite low,” Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center<\/u><\/a>, told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It makes complete sense for adults \u2014 especially those in high-risk groups, including the elderly and those with chronic disease \u2014 to have a bivalent shot if they haven’t already had one.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Siegel was not involved in the CDC’s study.<\/p>\n

While cases and deaths continue to decline in the U.S., Siegel warned that “COVID is still with us,” citing the “huge” outbreak currently happening in China.<\/p>\n

“Here in the U.S., with XBB subvariants still predominating, we do have a lot more population immunity than China does,” he noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That immunity is due to both prior infection as well as vaccination,” he said.<\/p>\n

“But the vaccine effect on decreasing severity or preventing long COVID is not forever \u2014 after a year, that effect has certainly declined significantly,” he also said.<\/p>\n

“This study looked at the durability, or how long the bivalent mRNA vaccine protects people from hospitalization and critical illness<\/u><\/a> from COVID-19,” Johnson told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What the study did not evaluate was previous COVID-19 infection or natural immunity, she explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The authors note that since a large portion of the population has experienced COVID, they have some level of protection from natural immunity, but the vaccine provides additional benefit,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Natural immunity confers a benefit, but the vaccine provides broader coverage, which protects against more variants.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
