Will an infection after vaccination give me an immune boost?
Biology/Immunity Vaccines
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD

We’ve gotten this question SO many times recently but had to rely on immunological best guesses (see here). *FINALLY* we have some real world data from that famous Provincetown, MA outbreak last summer. The study tested blood and nasal swabs of 35 vaccinated people who were PCR tested during the outbreak investigation, including Read more…

Can I take an antibody test to see if I need a booster shot?
Biology/Immunity Vaccines
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
A: Unfortunately, no. TL;DR: 💥Our current antibody tests can’t tell us how well someone is protected from COVID-19 infection or disease. Whether you have been previously infected, vaccinated, or a combination of the two, the recent authorization of booster shots in many countries has people wondering if they need one yet.

I heard that doctors and hospitals are falsely claiming that both admissions and deaths are due to COVID-19 to make more money. Is that true?
Uncertainty and Misinformation
Sarah Whitley Coles, MD
A: No. Healthcare professionals and hospitals are not inflating the numbers of COVID-19 cases to make more money. If anything, the number of cases and deaths are undercounted. Many hospitals lost money during the pandemic. Sadly, the rumor that clinicians and hospitals are inflating the number of COVID-19 deaths and cases to make more money Read more…
