Dr. Ronan Glynn:

I might add there have been some anecdotal reports in recent weeks that some people were anticipating that an Omicron-specific vaccine would become available in the coming months and that, perhaps, some people were holding off on getting their booster dose until that became available. I take this opportunity to encourage people not to wait for that but to come forward and get the booster that is currently available. Another example of how impactful our current vaccines are is that yesterday, fewer than 20 people who had been boosted were in our intensive care facilities. There have been hundreds of thousands of cases over recent weeks, yet yesterday fewer than 20 people who had been boosted were in critical care. Obviously, we want nobody to be in critical care but that statistic points to the effectiveness of our current vaccines in preventing serious illness.
