Interesting article today regarding the efficacy of the Pfizer and Moderna Vaccines on immunocompromised patients. No surprise to those of us with with impaired immune systems but there are now statistics for people with organ and stem cell transplants. Suggestions of a booster are still being touted as our best bet.

An excerpt “ But not all immunocompromised people even reached a 77% effectiveness, the researchers pointed out, noting, “vaccine effectiveness varied considerably among immunocompromised patient subgroups.” Specifically, people who had organ or stem cell transplants were more likely to have a 59% efficacy, while those who had a rheumatic or inflammatory disorder like rheumatoid arthritis saw efficacy numbers up to 81%. ”

Yes, now that I’m back to dressing for the office, I’m investing in a wider array of masks 😷 so I can be color coordinated! Masks are becoming like socks, good to be matching, but also stand out. I expect they’ve become a permanent feature of our attire.
