Reduced Risk of Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 After COVID-19 Vaccination ? Kentucky, May?June 2021

Summary
What is already known about this topic?

Reinfection with human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been documented. Currently, limited evidence concerning the protection afforded by vaccination against reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 is available.

What is added by this report?

Among Kentucky residents infected with SARS-CoV-2 in 2020, vaccination status of those reinfected during May?June 2021 was compared with that of residents who were not reinfected. In this case-control study, being unvaccinated was associated with 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with being fully vaccinated.

What are the implications for public health practice?

To reduce their likelihood for future infection, all eligible persons should be offered COVID-19 vaccine, even those with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Well he was almost right.  They?re studying how it can be added to lettuce, but ya probably not the dressing.https://www.snopes.com/news/2021/09/22/flynn-vaccine-in-salad-dressing/

He should say the exact research of lettuce. There is specific break through research regarding this.

Instead of spreading a conspiracy theory about covid. To people this is a joke, but tbh many people believe this.
That is why I am trying to wake people up, before they fall off the edge. (Figure of speech)
 
I don't know about Covid or Vaccine mandate, but we have effectively eliminated the flu.
From 38 million to 2k+ cases! wow.

Public health and clinical laboratories reported 2,038 flu cases during the season from Sept. 27, 2020, to April 24, 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency estimated about 38 million people were sick with the flu during the 2019-2020 season.

This has never made any sense to me.

There is no way there have been only 2k cases of the flu.  Do people just get tested for covid when they are sick and if it?s negative it?s just a cold??

Or are masks just that effective against the flu and not covid?

Either way, 2k can not be right.  You don?t go from 38M to 2k.
 
Lower flu results due to masking was predicted last year by me.....I now take back my Miss Cleo crown!

I'm sure the record 193.8 million flu vaccinations had no impact.

Or half the kids not being in class and the other half being bathed with sanitizer if they touched anything while in school.  My kid 14 kids in class.

Fox news poll: Majorities favor mask and vaccine mandate as pandemic worries increase

Let me tell you this. You dont need a college degree to see many people dying of covid recently because they are unvaccinated. I think no one wants to have a tube shoved down their throat, gasp for air, laying on a bed in the hallway of the icu because of capacity issue.

Foxnews trying to play both sides? The company has a vaccine mandate policy or get tested, but many hosts on foxnews promote conspiracy theories about covid. As long as I am safe, it is okay? (Wink wink) If you dont believe me, google search the foxnews memo to employees.  ;)
 
Don't forget the huge reduction in travel especially international

Flu is seasonal so it migrates around the globe to follow cold weather. Much harder to do that without heavy international travel.
 
qwerty... it's science... protocols that limit the spread of Covid also limit the spread of any other infectious virus.

If that's not proof of the efficacy of masks, social distancing and hand-washing... not sure what is.
 
Personally, I'm shocked everybody isn't very very suspicious about the tiny little yellow colored hump representing flu deaths ~35000/yr. disappeared in the giant blue triple spike of Covid deaths.  /sarcasm.

I may get around to getting the flu shot, but probably not because we are all still masking, social distancing, washing hands...
Seeing the crazy decline in influenza makes me believe the flu is not even part of the equation anymore, so why get stabbed?
 
While last year was incredibly low, the flu season starts Week 40, which this year is Oct 4th week.

The current run rate while low is roughly twice the typical late 30s week run rates.  Multiple states are creeping into the Low activity level already where as a typical flu year all but one or two are bottoming out in the lowest of 3 minimal activity levels.
 
I understand that as a community, getting the flu shot protects me and my neighbors....but if anti vaccer's can be selfish so can I.

Why spend part of my day getting stabbed in the arm to help my community when influenza cases are so low?
 
...and the slippery slope of vaccine mandates becomes clear....required sterilizations in the Ghetto sections next?....did you know Soylent green is people?...

9/16 Flu Vaccine Requirement for Students

All USC students taking in-person classes or living in university-owned residences in Fall 2020 are required to complete immunization for influenza by November 1. Students living in off-campus residences and taking classes remotely are also strongly encouraged to get a flu vaccine. Students returning to in person classes in Spring 2021 will be required to show proof of vaccination before they will be permitted on campus.

This requirement will help mitigate the potential simultaneous impact of flu and COVID-19 during the seasonal flu timeframe in the fall/winter months. Exact timing of flu season may vary, but activity often begins to increase in October; flu activity typically peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May.
