Vaccine after covid

[SonnetForSpring]

My ds is turning 12 this week. He has missed out on vaccine at school as they did it last week and he wasn't 12. I have seen 12 year olds may be able to use walk in centres soon to get the vaccine. How, he has just tested positive for covid. How long do you have to wait after a positive result before you can be vaccinated?

Think its 4 weeks after a positive test

He has to wait 4 weeks, hopefully by then they will have walk ins in place everywhere.

Immunity from vaccine though, is thought to be better: www.immunology.org/coronavirus/connect-coronavirus-public-engagement-resources/covid-immunity-natural-infection-vaccine

That’s from June ‘21. The vaccine is less effective at preventing contraction and transmission of delta. Immunity after infection has been shown to last (9-12 months in the majority compared to waning after vaccination from 4-6 months) and a recent nature paper showed broader B- protection

“While vaccination gives rise to memory B cells that evolve over a few weeks, natural infection births memory B cells that continue to evolve over several months, producing highly potent antibodies adept at eliminating even viral variants.”

“With convalescent patients, on the other hand, memory B cells continued to evolve and improve up to one year after infection. More potent and more broadly neutralizing memory antibodies were coming out with every memory B cell update.”

All OP wanted to know was when her dc can get the vaccine after covid

Why are you adding extra info she didn't ask for?

Why not? Would you rather people didn’t know?

Yes jog on to one of your other anti vaccine threads Bumbly. The OP was asking a question about timings and doesn't need any of your pseudo science thanks

Wow. So quoting from a university article and linking to a nature paper is ‘anti-vax’ now?

What’s your agenda here?

Nature is ‘pseudo-science’? Wow.

Happily admit I'm massively pro vac so that's my stance. How about you?

Your agenda is on show here.

Op other posters are correct. Four weeks is the minimum gap after a positive test.

Will the vaccine not help boost that immunity?

@bumbleymummy please stop with your anti-vaccine nonsense AGAIN. Every bloody thread.

It is when you're deliberately misinterpreting their results to futher an agenda. As I said to you on yet another thread you posted this on, good science can always be used to mislead.

None of the papers linked recommend people with a previous infection don't need to be vaccinated.

You also carefully ignore all evidence that demonstrates in people with a previous infection, those who are vaccinated are significantly less likely to have a second infection compared to unvaccinated people.

None of your posts are helping people make an informed decision though, as they are considerably biased towards minimising the harms of COVID and downplaying the benfits of vaccination (whilst exaggerating their risks)

Thanks everyone for your help

Thanks for the info @bumbleymummy natural immunity is clearly a good thing and perfectly natural.

I had Covid in 2020 and had one Pfizer, thinking it’d be enough. I’ve now got Delta and yesterday I coughed so much I wet myself. I feel like hell (two weeks now) and am self employed. Get the vaccines.

If you search “bumbleymummy vaccine”, you’ll see a long history of anti vaccine posts predating Covid.

Posters need to be aware of this when reading their posts.

As I have said, you're using the article to claim that people with a previous infection don't need to be vaccinated, when that isn't what the article says. They do not recommend that people who have had COVID don't need to be vaccinated.

It's actually about whether previously vaccinated individuals who have been infected now need a booster (however I guess that rather takes away from your claims doesn't it?)

You also ignore all evidence that shows the benefits of vaccination in previously infected individuals, and cherry pick relevant statements from articles you think back up your claims.

And your last point makes no sense - just because you spread misinformation and I call you out on it doesn't mean that I'm doing the same
