No such thing as 'fully vaccinated'!!!

It's time to stop saying 'fully vaccinated' for Covid, experts say—here's why


Cindy Prins is an Infectious Disease Epidemiologist at the University of Florida

If you still say "fully vaccinated" for Covid, it's time to stop.

With new boosters on the market and an ever-evolving virus, experts say the term no longer means being the most protected you can be. They point to two, far more appropriate alternatives to use in this current phase of the pandemic: "up-to-date" with Covid vaccines or simply indicating whether you've gotten your latest booster shot.

I certainly would say that we need to stop using it, set that aside altogether. 'Fully vaccinated' is not the term that we want to use.

To put it simply, being fully vaccinated doesn't give you full protection against Covid anymore. Even if you recently finished your primary series, omicron's BA.5 subvariant and a flurry of other sublineages appear increasingly adept at dodging the protection you get from the original mRNA vaccines

And a bit of education on vocabulary and how we communicate with others saying the right things...

Say you're "up-to-date" on your Covid vaccines, Prins recommends. It's a quick way of acknowledging that if you're eligible for a shot, you've received it — meaning you're the most protected you can be in that moment.

The shift in your vocabulary could affect how you communicate with the people around you. For example, you should make sure loved ones are "up-to-date" on their vaccines before coming to a gathering you're organizing, Prins says.

And when you think it can't get more absurd and ludicrous, the vaccine ideology doesn't want to disappoint anyone! It doesn't let you down, especially if you are a follower...

There is no such thing anymore as 'fully vaccinated' just as there is no such thing as gender. We live in a genderless society and in a society where nobody can be fully vaccinated.

So are you "up to date" with the Covid vaccines?!
If you think about this it looks like it gives you a sense of purpose and continuity where you are now on your 3rd dose and you are looking forward for your 4th, 5th, 6th, and... 23rd dose in the future. There is some purpose in life after all.

How can anyone claim that they are fully vaccinated? It's not an appropriate term. You need to be careful not to use offensive language. How can someone have only 2 or 3 doses? People must have lost their mind as it seems...

In my parts of the Uk vaccine status really doesn't seem to be much of a thing.

Some people have some haven't and it's not really something that comes up in conversation.

Is it still a big issue in the US?

The expert above suggests that we should change our vocabulary and be careful what we say, how we say what we say, and what to think.

Good lord!!!

why? Are you planning a visit?

a reply to: Asmodeus3

Still going against what is asked of you I see?

a reply to: network dude

Not planning one no.

Just curious as its not something that comes up in the world I live in.

Some have boosters some don't.

No one talks about it or cares and that's why I was asking if its a more prominent question elsewhere.

I will start by asking if you are fully vaccinated.

a reply to: Asmodeus3

That would depend on your definition of fully vaccinated.

So are you saying the definition of a fully vaccinated person is debatable?!

What is your opinion regarding the thought police telling you how to speak?

My response doesn't live up to the standards of decorum I like to keep.

My fully vaxxt mom (5th shot in September) just tested positive for the vid. Now is where I'm supposed to post on social media how much worse it would have been w/o the jab. Getting fully vaccinated seems to give one prescient powers.

a reply to: Asmodeus3

Have I said otherwise?

I had the astrazenica vaccine followed by a second shot about 3 months later.

Since then I have had no more, no boosters.

I tested positive for covid around 5 months after my second jab.

Yes, it is still an issue. People are even still wearing masks even though it's been proven they do nothing.

I cannot comment as the thought police is not a real thing.

What would you expect me to say?

Unfortunately you are not fully vaccinated.

People in Asia have been wearing masks outdoors for years now.

People wearing masks is nothing to do with vaccination status.

I never said I was fully vaccinated?

Well done I guess, you win again?

I'll take my 2 astra zenica jabs and a dose of covid and take my chances?

What's the point here?
