[MCOH-EH] Second dose (message forwarded from Michael Sauri)

[Dr Joe Fanucchi]

Dr. Siu,

In my opinion, your patient should receive her second COVID-19 vaccine 
but delay its administration by 90 days.

Current CDC recommendations are:

1.    Anyone who acquired a COVID-19 infection should get the COVID-19 
vaccine since it can not be assumed that every victim will develop a 
significant immune response from their infection. However, CDC also has 
stated that it is very likely that most COVID-19 victims will have at 
least 3-6 months of immunity following their infection.
2.    Anyone who has acquired a COVID-19 infection should wait 90 days 
before receiving a COVID-19 vaccine to avoid a robust reaction to the 
mRNA vaccine (especially the Moderna vaccine) from the presence of high 
levels of circulating antibodies following a natural infection.

That being said, there has been some discussion among public health 
experts that a single dose of a COVID-19 vaccine may be sufficient for 
those people who naturally-acquired a COVID-19 infection.

Finally,  due to the "immune escape" property in the COVID-19 variants, 
there is currently concern among public health experts that a modified 
COVID-19 vaccine "booster" will also be needed for the general 
population in the future.

I hope this is helpful.

Michael

I have a nurse who developed COVID 2 days after the first dose.
She has now recovered. Should she get the second dose?
Thanks.
