There is an urgent need to evaluate immune response kinetics with the aim of monitoring vaccination coverage. [1]
The critical consideration – do the rates of new vaccinations exceed attenuation rates of previous immunization, based on published rates of vaccination and assumed attenuation rates? We based our analysis on 2021 population-based trends in the administration of primary and booster vaccines [2], comparing rates of increasing population protection with rates of attenuation over time. We proposed attenuation scenarios involving selected rates of such losses and compared their effects on vaccination status with and without booster shots. All of this is hypothetical...
