I have backed out of getting the vaccine three times now. Every time I’ve went to go, I get massive anxiety and just can’t bring myself to go in and do it. I am a strong believer in vaccines, but I am just not there yet with the options we have available right now. This brought me so much comfort and hope that we are moving towards so many great things and options that will be more comfortable for more people to move forward with. I am a person who has a history of bad reactions so the side effects of the current vaccines really make me anxious (even though I know that they are mild for most people and the likelihood of me having a serious adverse event is very low) but that’s just my reality and that’s where I’m currently at. I am incredibly grateful for science and for people like you who take the time to address real concerns, fears, and facts with the public without shaming people. Thank you for shedding light on the truth and for helping those of us who need the little extra TLC make educated, informed choices. 💪🏽

He says they don't know when it reaches full strength. The trial data has been cut short to get early approval. It isn't like they will stop tracking how much better it gets, but it is good enough now to get it early approval. This is really, really good news.

Hey Dr. Z, can you comment on Canada’s decision on forcing everyone to wait 42 days between the two doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine instead of the recommended period?

[@lissaw4]

I'd be interested in his and Paul Offits take on this as well. There has been a lot of discussion on this within the US as well when releasing all available doses instead of holding on to the 2nd dose for people. From what I've seen from immunologists on this is that we obviously don't have the data on the effects this could have. However, they are taking an educated guess that having the 2nd dose 6 weeks after the first (instead of 3 weeks later for the Pfizer or 4 weeks later for the Moderns) shouldn't drop efficacy by a significant amount of you are unable to find the 2nd dose in time. They are also taking an educated guess that its better to just switch to the other brand in "extraordinary circumstances" of not being able to obtain the 2nd dose of the original brand. I'm assuming this is what Canada is basing this policy on. However, I'm curious what data will come out about this later.

[@MrEgyPete]

@@lissaw4 Most of the talks in the US is based on not having the availability for a second dose, when you need it. Canada is different. They are forcing everyone to take it late even if doses are available.

[@MrEgyPete]

@Alan d'Eon Yes, I understand their point. We just don’t know how lasting that first dose and are you going to end up with the 95% efficacy as well. I can understand the educated guess but we should be driven with data every time we go against the trial or at least leave the option to people. It is all a trade offs!

[@sallyjrwjrw6766]

People Who Have Had Covid Should Get Single Vaccine Dose, Studies Suggest A person’s immune response to a natural infection is highly variable. Most people make copious amounts of antibodies that persist for many months. But some people who had mild symptoms or no symptoms of Covid-19 produce few antibodies, which quickly fall to undetectable levels. The vaccines “even the playing field,” Dr. Gommerman said, so that anyone who has recovered from Covid-19 produces enough antibodies to protect against the virus. www.nytimes.com/2021/02/19/health/covid-vaccine-single-dose.html

[@sallyjrwjrw6766]

A Denmark research team found that, at about 6 months after initial infection, protection against repeat infection was approximately 80%, with no significant difference in reinfection rates between men and women. But this protection was reduced to 47% for those aged 65 years or older, emphasizing the need to prioritize vaccinations for this group. www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00502-w

How do the public reach out to get these vaccines

[@judithlowitz3605]

Hi Dr. ZDogg, I will become a patreon ASAP. I have a couple of questions. When I become a patreon, can I please email or call you? Thx very much. I am an RN. I currently work in a SNF. I always benefit and share your podcasts.

[@RedAngelSophia]

Do we yet know how the different vaccines stack up against long-term debilitation from COVID - or is it too early for us to know that?

[@jarkapilole793]

if this 1 is 85% effective to avoid hospitalization and death (if i understood you correctly), what is that % for the other vaccines? Or did the others not even test for that? The fact that the J&J one seems to improve so much with time is amazing news.

[@mmeiselph7234]

What's the prevalence right now? Curious from a Bayesian prior standpoint.

[@PopShoppekid]

ZDogg, I know! One dose and storage in refrigerator. The J and J vaccine way easier to get it to the people on all levels.

[@deniseb2571]

Thanks! Love Dr. Offit too looking forward to that

[@emrej2527]

Please make these videos into a Spotify podcast!!

[@leeS04]

Thanks for wonderful information, just today got a negative result on a Covid test.

[@kathebarnett7028]

What do you think about possibly getting a vaccine yearly like the flu shot

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Probable. Many have said it's going to be around forever with mutations, like a flu.

[@ТамараБелка-й8с]

That's What "i" Said agree, but also our organisms will adapt to produce less symptoms.

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

I think that's a given. I'll bet it'll be in the flu jab for the next 100 years. Yearly 'top up' so to speak.

[@buggsy5]

It depends on how long the immunization immunity lasts and how much the virus mutates. The flu viruses mutate morders of magnitude faster than the COV-2 virus. It is too early to guess, but immunity in the Phase 1 trials still seems to be holding up, and those shots were given about a year ago.

Hi am new here. Thank you for the info

[@jonathanhodapp8735]

Does this mean the Johnson and Johnson could be better long-term as well As short term compared to the others

[@airenecaleja1705]

Is this good for diabetic and hypertension people

[@Kraftschild]

I have a lame question....in the covid vaccine trials, are the subjects vaccinated and then inoculated with covid 19 virus and their response to be exposed recorded to measure efficacy?

[@sallyjrwjrw6766]

It's not a lame question! Lots of people don't know how vaccines are studied. Generally, researchers will only give the vaccine, wait until a threshold number of people get sick just living their normal life and then compare the entire group of people who got the vaccine to the control group who got a placebo. Although, I did see some researches wanted to deliberately inject vaccinated people with COVID to see how their bodies would respond. But that did not happen for the initial studies.

[@michaelrosenau5503]

Where would I find the actual Johnson & Johnson research study document that Zdog is referring to? Can someone post the link please?

[@toby9999]

You could try jnj.com. There is info on their site. Not whether it's what you're looking for though.

[@schues317]

The full study is not completed/published yet. He is just referring to preliminary data released by J&J

[@wallihaley5194]

@Denise Skinner, liar.

[@basicallynobass1928]

Every time! Explained so well!

[@muhammadnaeemlone8460]

Is this vaccine available in west Virginia?

[@jenni0278]

It's not available anywhere yet doesn't look like it will be until March sometime

[@bshultzrn]

Well done ZDogg... I got COVID on 12/5/2020...recovered, still have significant HA, Rash, but OK.... Hopefully after 90 days, I can get this one...(Waiting for Dead Virus to Shed-Per my MD and CDC).... I shared this on FB and appreciate your work- B Shultz CCT-RN

[@vincentlee4799]

Excellent review!

[@krisztinaschneider2561]

Yay! I am so impressed! Is there a liability that comes with it? Just asking..

[@kimcox8192]

Excellent information!

[@kevingold1091]

Does the efficacy of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines also increase beyond the time window they looked at in their respective studies? 95% is already high enough there's not a whole of room for improvement, but I'm wondering if we might see an improvement in efficacy against the African B1[fill-in-the-blank] variant?

[@ТамараБелка-й8с]

Kevin Gold they have started to tweak their available vaccines to suit them better for the African and Brazilian variants

[@kevingold1091]

@@ТамараБелка-й8с I know they are talking about doing that -- and talking about a third (aka booster) shot -- but I didn't think they've actually done it yet. I believe the doses Moderna is currently creating aren't tweaked just yet. Or are they?

[@kathrynsavage4121]

Have a friend who is in a current 2 dose J&J trial; I'm confused.

[@tlbailey1469]

Maybe it’s a different one. Idk 🤷‍♀️

[@chrisemery914]

This will test if two doses improves how effective it is. It sounds like 1 dose will protect the individual. Will 2 doses protect the individuals ability to spread it? So the 1 dose can stop the healthcare being overwhelmed. Then they can potentially have a booster to stop transmission, a longer term goal.
