Suara.com – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its COVID-19 coronavirus guidelines for people with immune disorders.
CDC says immunocompromised people may need 4 injections Covid-19 vaccine or 2 times booster injections Covid-19 vaccine.
The CDC says that people who are 18 years of age and over and have received two initial injections of the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine and received Covid-19 vaccine booster injection, may still require another dose of a booster shot, either from Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
“In this situation, people with moderate to severe immunosuppression can get four injections of the Covid-19 vaccine,” the CDC said Fox News.

People with moderate or severe immune disorders need to get a booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine 28 days after getting the second shot. Then, they can also get a booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine for the second time after 6 months.
People 18 years of age and over with moderate to severe immune disorders who have received their first single dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine should receive a booster shot of Covid-19 vaccine from Pgizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson at least after 2 months.
Last week, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave approval to mix two types of Covid-19 vaccines. That is, people can get a booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine from a different brand with two initial doses.
“This Covid-19 vaccine booster injection is very important to provide continuous protection. Because the data currently available shows a decrease in the immunity of a number of people who have been fully vaccinated,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, FDA commissioner.
The third injection or booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine is currently classified as an additional dose. The CDC has also recommended additional doses of this Covid-19 vaccine for pregnant women with moderate or severe immune disorders and people aged 12 years and over with immune disorders.
