fourth shot gives people who already have immunity a little bit more. but it doesn t give you that much more protection against omicron or the b.a. 2 one that we reied about. this just tells me, i think, it s not really a fourth shot. i m starting to think of this as a seasonal shot. i mate different, the form l.a. the flu shot every year differs. but think of this as, hey, we re just going to need a little bit of a boost at a regular interval. now we need to figure out who, what, when and where. how many months since your third? which priority population, and when do you need to get it? doctor, a friend of the show, soon to be new white house covid-19 coordinator was on the today show earlier. of he talked about b.a. 2 and the rise overseas. here s what he said. it s a little more transmissionable an b.a. 1. that was the form of omicron that swept through in january. our vaccines especially if you re boosted provide the same level of protection. i hear you, too, you talk
