00:00.440 --> 00:03.850
Yeah . Mm mhm !

00:04.240 --> 00:07.250
Roger Cook asked . I read a study that

00:07.250 --> 00:09.417
was just published in the UK , stating

00:09.417 --> 00:11.306
that individuals who have already

00:11.306 --> 00:13.250
contracted covid should only get a

00:13.250 --> 00:15.417
single shot . Is there any validity to

00:15.417 --> 00:17.730
this ? Okay , well , that's an

00:18.030 --> 00:20.086
interesting and great question , and

00:20.086 --> 00:22.141
the answer is a little complicated .

00:22.141 --> 00:24.141
There have been recent studies that

00:24.141 --> 00:26.141
have shown that people who have had

00:26.141 --> 00:27.919
covid 19 in the past after they

00:27.919 --> 00:30.086
received their first dose of the Covid

00:30.086 --> 00:32.640
19 vaccine have an excellent antibody

00:32.640 --> 00:34.850
response , much better than somebody

00:34.850 --> 00:38.100
who did not have covid 19 disease when

00:38.100 --> 00:41.780
they get there to shot regimen . The

00:41.780 --> 00:44.090
studies further suggest that after the

00:44.090 --> 00:46.034
second dose , for somebody who had

00:46.034 --> 00:48.750
covid 19 , that the antibody response

00:48.750 --> 00:50.861
that they got for their first dose is

00:50.861 --> 00:53.083
not really improved upon , so there may

00:53.083 --> 00:56.310
not be a need for that second dose . At

00:56.320 --> 00:58.930
this point in time , the CDC has not

00:58.930 --> 01:00.374
made any changes in their

01:00.374 --> 01:02.652
recommendation for the two shot series .

01:03.040 --> 01:05.880
So for right now , if you had covid 19

01:05.880 --> 01:08.170
in the past , we still recommend doing

01:08.170 --> 01:10.850
the two shots series . But stay tuned

01:10.850 --> 01:13.017
in case these recommendations change .

01:13.640 --> 01:15.160
Mhm , mhm
