Omicron is associated with high ability to evade immunity from previous infection doi.org/10.1101/2021.11.11.2… & potentially vaccine immunity. Israeli experience with Delta showed immunity waned at 4-6months. With risk from Omicron circulating we should boost around 4mths after dose 2

But Omicron seems like it’s very mild compared to Delta?

From the beginning your advice has seemed very sound, thank you. I will contact my GP about booster at 5 months…..our borders about to open….ahem!

What about those people that are STILL unwell from the AZ vaccine? Who can we speak to about boosters?? GPs are useless with any info.

Thank you @MarylouiseMcla1 and also @normanswan for your ongoing sound advice. I just had my 3rd shot booster at 5 months, brought forward so my immunity will be at peak not waning for seeing my grandchildren at Christmas. #Booster #COVID19

I’ll stick with my natural immunity. Omicron looks to be much milder than Delta which was mild for me. If I get Omicron the immunity generated from that coupled with the immunity generated from Delta should be great. #NaturalImmunity

Tried that and reappointed ‘til 6 months from vax2. Isolating the only way!

Thank you. It would appear to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to take.
