A bit dark but I find it humorous that @ownedbycats quotes someone who is complaining that the government is giving equal treatment to everyone aged 12+. Isn't equality what has been demanded by various special needs groups? I have to admit to some admiration for the way that Gabrielle Peters conflated immunocompromised and disabled as though they were synonymous. Perhaps I shouldn't ask why she did not see an allergist, say 8 months ago, instead of waiting until a vaccine passport was suggested to whinge.
As for vaccinating immunocomprised people? To quote from a press release from the American FDA:
Quote:
|
Today (2021-Aug-12), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration amended the emergency use authorizations (EUAs) for both the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine to allow for the use of an additional dose in certain immunocompromised individuals, specifically, solid organ transplant recipients or those who are diagnosed with conditions that are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise.

Oddly similar to the quote posted by @SteveEisenberg.
An article entitled
Randomized Trial of a Third Dose of mRNA-1273 Vaccine in Transplant Recipients from the New England Journal of Medicine might be worth reading.
