Studie in @nejm toont aan dat bescherming tegen herinfectie met eerdere omikron infectie snel daalt. Dit haalt het argument onderuit dat nu de meeste kinderen zijn geïnfecteerd, ze niet hoeven te worden gevaccineerd. 3 doses van het vaccin zijn nodig @rivm @ministerVWS @MinVWS
Replying to @dgurdasani1
The paper also shows rapid waning of protection against re-infection with past infection with omicron, completely crushing the JCVI argument that now that most children have been infected they don't need to be vaccinated. Not only do they need to be vaxed, they need 3 doses.
