overdose deaths continue to climb, up 26 percent in 2021, new data shows?

Duke study: If you got J&J vaccine, switch to Moderna or Pfizer for booster.

If you received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, new research shows you are better off switching brands for your booster

The Duke study comes one month after the CDC flat out recommended the two mRNA vaccines over the J&J shot

Nearly a half million people in North Carolina have gotten vaccinated with the single-dose J&J shot

But new research from Duke University shows J&J recipients who mix their vaccines – and get boosted with Pfizer or Moderna instead of a second J&J shot – have 10 times the level of antibodies against omicron

"We expect the boost with the J&J vaccine is still going to be very effective

Probably not as effective as the boost with the mRNA vaccine," said Dr

"The levels of these antibodies we see after two doses of a vaccine or a single dose of J&J are very, very low and most people don't have the neutralizing antibodies to omicron after the primary series of vaccinations," he said

But after a boost, the study shows a potential 20-fold increase in neutralizing antibodies

Montefiori says the current vaccines are still highly effective at keeping people out of the hospital

Only 45% of vaccinated people in North Carolina have returned for their booster shot

Those who received the J&J should get boosted two months after their initial vaccines

Those vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer should get boosted after 5 months
