A Covid infection that may be mild to you could kill a family member or friend. Don’t we each have a responsibility not to endanger others? That means taking simple actions to reduce transmission—masking up indoors and isolating if you test positive for Covid or have symptoms.

It’s rare for ANY vaccine to completely protect against infection or to eliminate transmission. But Covid vaccines and boosters continue to do an excellent job of preventing hospitalization and death.
Remember-vaccines save not only your life, but everyone's
Scaling up #COVID19 vaccine access to get 70% of people in ALL countries vaccinated by mid-year will reduce the risk of new variants emerging. Meantime, WHO and partners continue tracking and analyzing new strains to fight the pandemic. who.int/en/activities/tracki…

These graphs never fail to astonish.
The COVID hospitalization risk is MORE THAN 10X higher for the unvaccinated—at every. single. age. level.

COVID-19 testing results are half day passes. Not multi-day passes.
A test is a point in time, meaning at the moment you took the test, whether you’re positive or negative.
That result can change day by day. That’s why serial testing is best.

📍ADJUSTED SEVERITY of Omicron vs Delta—Need to discuss *intrinsic severity* versus *observed severity* of #Omicron, which reinfects & evasive against 2-vaccine shots. New 🇬🇧study found that after adjusting for factors, Omicron is only slightly intrinsically milder—2%-12% (red)👇

Moderna's strategy to address the #Omicron variant.
ALT What is Moderna's strategy to address the Omicron variant?
ALT Icons of testing beakers shown with text that reads: Booster dose of mRNA-1273 Given the strength of mRNA-1273 and the speed at which the Omicron variant is spreading, our first line of defense against Omicron will be a booster dose of mRNA-1273.
ALT An icon of an mRNA vaccine with text that reads: Omicron-specific variant vaccine Given the long-term threat demonstrated by Omicron’s immune escape, we will also continue to develop an Omicron-specific variant vaccine (mRNA-1273.529) that we expect to advance into clinical trials in early 2022 and will evaluate including Omicron in our multivalent booster program

I've worked on infectious disease outbreaks for 30 years. I've NEVER seen anything like the speed of Omicron. It's as infectious as measles spreading in a non-immune population, with a much shorter incubation time therefore much faster doubling time. Hope it's a lot less severe.

Children who get #COVID19 can get very sick, require hospitalization, and even die. They can also spread the infection at home and in school. Vaccination helps prevent infection and serious illness and slows the spread of COVID-19. More: bit.ly/3GLtqKX.

If you get Covid, your risk of myocarditis and other heart problems is far greater than the tiny risk of these conditions after vaccination, according to a comprehensive new study. Protect your body by getting vaccinated.

First look at the assessment of our COVID-19 vaccine & 50µg booster against #Omicron. After the 2-dose primary series of our vaccine, while individuals had detectable neutralizing titers against Omicron, neutralizing titers were significantly lower compared to the wild-type virus

Omicron is spreading at a rate we have not seen with any previous variant. I need to be very clear: vaccines alone will not get any country out of this crisis.
It’s not vaccines instead of masks, distancing, ventilation or hand hygiene.
Do it all. Do it consistently. Do it well.

As of Dec. 13, 2021, 239.3 million people have received at least one dose of a #COVID19 vaccine. Of those, 202.2 million are fully vaccinated. More than 54.4 million people have received a COVID-19 booster.

Will we need an #Omicron specific vaccine? Dr. Fauci isn’t so sure. statnews.com/2021/12/10/fauc…

Big (order of magnitude) 3rd shot impact of J&J or Pfizer vaccine after 2 doses of Pfizer for both neutralizing antibody and T-cell response vs Delta medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… confirms powerful booster effect and extends to J&J, cellular immune response

Good current summary of Omicron, and the points of #3D prediction of its binding to neutralizing antibodies likely not strongly affected and the importance of variant-independent T cell response economist.com/briefing/2021/…
