Expert: No data yet on benefits of 2nd booster for general public

MANILA – According to the Vaccine Experts Panel (VEP) member on Monday, there is no data yet revealing that the general public would benefit from the second booster dose of Covid-19 vaccine.

Dr. Rontgene Solante, also an infectious disease expert, said in a televised public briefing that a second booster shot of Covid-19 is an effective defense against Omicron subvariant BA.4 which is more transmissible compared to the other variants.

It is not recommended for the general public yet, however.

“For now, there’s no data to tell us that the general public will benefit from a second booster that’s why monitoring those vaccinated and also boosted is important,” he said. “And if we have more cases of fully vaccinated already and with the first booster and yet getting the infection then there’s more reason to believe a second booster is needed in order to maintain that wall of immunity for the general population.”

Only the healthcare workers, immunocompromised and senior citizens are allowed to receive a second booster shot.

The Department of Health (DOH) has detected Omicron subvariant BA.4 from a Filipino citizen who flew in from the Middle East last May 4.

The specimen collected on May 8 yielded a positive test result for the subvariant. He was asymptomatic.

It is early to implement border restrictions, citing that other countries, where cases of Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 are increasing, have not imposed such measures, Solante said.

He stated that monitoring the vulnerable population and encouraging those with symptoms to be tested for Covid-19 are the most important measures to be done.

“So that we can intervene because of the treatment and I don’t see a problem with the general population as long as we’re wearing our face masks, we are following the health protocols,” he added.

    and that is also happening with this post which I am reading at this place.

  3. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get
    setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
    would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100%

  4. ترک خود ارضایی از نظر علمی کاملا
    ممکن است. بخش زیادی از ترک اعتیاد به این عمل
    مانند هرگونه اعتیاد دیگری جنبه های روحی و روانی زیادی دارد.
    بنابر این نیاز است که با تمام
    اراده خود تصمیم به ترک گرفته باشید
    و از شکست هراسی نداشته باشید.
    در ادامه راه هایی برای ترک خود ارضایی
    که از نظر علمی ثابت شده اند را بازگو می
    کنیم.

    ورزش کنید
    ورزش انرژی مازاد شما را کاهش می
    دهد. ورزش علاوه بر آن شادابی و نشاط نیز با خود به ارمغان می آورد.

    ورزش هایی مثل دوییدن و شنا می توانند باعث ترشح اندورفین در بدن
    می شود. اندورفین هورمون شادی و نشاط در بدن است.
    همچنین ورزش هایی مانند یوگا می تواند آرامش و اضطراب ناشی از ترک خود ارضایی را به طور چشمگیری کاهش دهد و موجب
    آرامش هرچه بیشتر گردد.

    تغذیه سالم
    تغذیه سالم با میوه و سبزیجات کافی می
    تواند همیشه سطح انرژی شما را
    در سطحی متعادل نگه دارد و احساس خستگی و کسلی را از
    افراد دور نماید. احساس سرزندگی و نشاط می تواند افراد را
    از کارهایی مانند خود ارضایی که که به بدن
    آسیب وارد می کند منع نماید.

    خواب کافی
    کم خوابی با خود بی هدفی و کسالت به دنبال خواهد آورد.

    نداشتن خواب کافی به مرور افراد را دچار
    افسردگی می کند. تنظیم عادت خواب و
    همچنین خواب کافی به میزان
    8 ساعت در روز می تواند احساس افسردگی را از افراد
    دور می کند.

    حمام آب سرد
    حمام آب سرد در زمانی که وسوسه های خود ارضایی به سراغ افراد می آید می تواند معجزه کند.
    این روش به خوبی می تواند جلوی هر تکرار عمل خود ارضای را بگیرد.

    تنها نباشید
    معمولا خودارضایی و وسوسه های آن زمان به سراغ افراد
    می آید که تنها هستند. به همین دلیل توصیه می شود برای
    ترک خود ارضایی بهتر است
    خود را در موقعیت هایی قرار دهید که تنها نباشید.

    از تماشای فیلم ها و عکس های مستهجن دوری
    کنید
    فیلم ها و عکس های مستهجن می توانند یک عامل مهم در
    شروع وسوسه برای خود ارضایی باشد.
    ترک خود ارضایی زمانی ممکن می
    شود که افراد عامل محرک وسوسه ها
    را پاک کنند. فیلم های پورن و عکس های مربوط به صحنه های سکسی به طور یقین یکی
    از همین عوامل محرک است که افراد به راحتی می توانند
    از دیدن آن صرف نظر کنند.( اختلال تماشاگری جنسی)
