Dont understand the process for what the trials do. the vaccine was not found to be ineffective in two to four-year-old group. what happened was the pfizer sets a threshold for antibody response and what happened was it did not meet that threshold. it doesnt mean its not effective. it just means it didnt hit the market they wanted it to compared to the six month and two-year-olds where it did. it is not that the vaccine doesnt work. it is not that the vaccine doesnt protect that age group. but c...

The holiday season and the winter months. >> how quickly does protection begin to wane though, doctor, following a moderna booster dose? >> so, wolf, i think were still looking at those data. probably from about three months on against omicron, after the second dose of the primary vaccination youll begin to get some waning. now people are getting boosted and i think well have to wait a couple months until we can see how the data develop and mature to understand when will their additional booster...

Help you fight omicron, or how much it would help you fight omicron. lets look at basic results. moderna is saying their current booster, which is 50 micro grams, that it boosted antibodies. they said 100 micrograms, double the dose, boosted antibodies even higher which brings into question, should they have made it 100 micro grams. but the effectiveness is unclear. just because it boosted antibodies does not necessarily mean that its going to help you in your fight against omicron. but i think ...

Im a pfizer guy. i need to say. but plain and simple is moderna the better vaccine? >> i dont know that we can say that yet. initially it was interesting because the very first recipients got the pfizer vaccines. they were the most vulnerable but also older and had higher risk factors. so they seemingly did not do as well. the moderna vaccine is a higher dose than the pfizer vaccine. pfizer is 30 micro grams. moderna is 50. so for the booster, a hundred for the actual shot. so it could have some...

Since its not based on height or weight, why wouldnt some parents of big 11-year-olds say, im going to wait for the adult dose when they turn 12? >> i wouldnt recommend that, actually, because even though they may be larger than other kids their age, children are not small versions of adults. their systems are still developing, and we want to make sure that the vaccine is absolutely safe for them. thats why we use the smallest possible dose if children. i think in the much younger group of six m...

In a much smaller dose. they landed on a much smaller dose. we get as adults 30 micro grams. this was 10 micro grams, separated by 21 days. what they did then was they measured the antibody response basically saying, are these children that age group developing the same antibody response that we saw in older people who received a higher dose. the answer was yes. and pore importantly the vaccine appeared to be safe. the profile was similar to what they saw with people who are older. again, this i...
