"Bivalent mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Reduce Thromboembolic Events in Elderly and End Stage Renal Disease Patients: US Study"

A study conducted among Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥65 years and those with end stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving dialysis found that bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were 47% effective in preventing thromboembolic events among immunocompetent persons aged ≥65 years and 51% effective among adults aged ≥18 years with ESRD, compared with receipt of the original monovalent vaccines alone. The findings suggest that COVID-19 vaccines provide protection against COVID-19–related thromboembolic events, emphasizing the importance of staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccination to prevent complications.

COVID-19 Booster Recommendations for All Ages and Conditions

The community risk of COVID-19 in Travis County and most jurisdictions around the country is low, and the CDC recorded the lowest number of COVID-19 deaths since March 25, 2020. The Texas Department of State Health Services recommends getting another booster shot only if you are 65 or older or have a condition that would mean you are moderate to severely immunocompromised. For most people, one dose of the Bivalent vaccine is recommended. The Bivalent vaccine still provides good protection against the currently circulating strains, and if COVID-19 numbers continue to stay low, vaccinations for the illness will likely become a yearly, scheduled routine, similar to what we see with other respiratory illnesses, such as the flu.
