Covid19 - updates:  Latest one on top 


The protection offered by the FDA-approved and authorized vaccines is very powerful, but  it starts to weaken: 

>  after two months for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and
>  after five months for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

 Getting a booster shot extends the protection, even against the delta and omicron variants.


What is the difference between a booster and an additional dose?
Booster / additional dose   <<<

A COVID-19 booster is given when a person has completed their vaccine series, and protection against the virus has decreased over time. Depending on the original series you had, some details will vary. Please review the booster eligibility information above and talk to your health care provider if you are not sure if you meet these guidelines. Please note, if you receive the Moderna booster, you will receive half of the original Moderna dose.

An additional dose is administered to people with moderately to severely compromised immune systems. This additional dose is intended to improve immunocompromised people’s response to their initial vaccine series. Depending on the original series given, some details will vary. Please review the additional dose eligibility information and talk to your health care provider if you are not sure if you meet these guidelines.

Covid 19 - Vocabulary (special words )

  The Coronavirus pandemic has been in our world for almost two years and in that time, we've had to expand our vocabularies extensively. For this year's Media Literacy Week, we've put together a list of vaccine-related words to help you make informed decisions about the health news you might be reading, watching and listening to. It's important to know what certain words mean, so you can make sure the information you're getting is truthful. Vaccine or vaxxine (noun) A vaccine is a substance that is put into the blood and protects the body from a disease. Example: The Covid-19 vaccine was developed to protect humans from the novel coronavirus during the global pandemic. You might have seen vaccine spelled with an X, like this "vaxxine". This spelling is incorrect, however many people will understand the use of the word as slang. Vaccinated/unvaccinated (verb) To be vaccinated means to be given a vaccine to protect against a disease. To be unvaccinated mean...

Parenting - Kids Misbehave (in the church )

This is a smaller church with small group (about 7 of the 13 to 15 years old ) ....... Kids were misbehave during church worship service. Below is my email to the Pastor (because one of the pre-teen is his boy)....... ************  Perspective on Parenting  when kids / teens misbehave ************** Hi, Pastor xxxx :   Maybe this Sunday morning was a mishap with your boys.... here is the part II:   As you recalled, in the middle of your message (2nd Service), we all heard some loud bird chirping sound.  You paused and commented:  "I didn't know we had birds in here. Go and shoot them".         You probably knew where the sound came from by now.   Ten minutes later, the second bird sound was made again   from the 2nd boy's cell phone (lasted about 5 to 7 seconds, but in softer sound).   There were 3 young boys sitting one row behind me.   ...

Illustration - Who is a sinner ?

  Illustrations -  Who is a sinner ?  I got this from someone else today. I'm not sure who the original author is. I've edited and modified it slightly for illustration purposes: A man fell in a pit and couldn't get himself out! A subjective person came along and said, “I feel for you down in that pit.” An objective person came along and said, “It’s logical that someone would fall in this pit.” A Christian Scientist came along and said, “You only think you’re in a pit.” A Pharisee said, “Only bad people fall into a pit.” A Sadducee said, "You better figure out how to get out of that pit because there are no angels to come and help you." Confucius said, “If you would have listened to me you wouldn’t be in that pit.” Buddha said, “Your pit is only a state of mind.” A realist said, “Now, that’s a pit!” A scientist calculated the pressure necessary in terms of pounds and square inches to get him out of the pit. A geologist told him to appreciate and study the rock str...
