Infection by SARS‐CoV‐2 with alternate frequencies of mRNA vaccine boosting
One of the most consequential unknowns of the COVID-19 pandemic is the frequency at which vaccine boosting provides sufficient protection from infection. We quantified the statistical likelihood of b....

Current science supports annul COVID-19 vaccination with boosters that offset waning immunity and protect against seasonal surges. Optimal protection depends on timing—often fall (shortly after they become available, but location-specific). Optimize your benefit.
