Are you learning about #ImmunologicalImprinting in the context of debates about Covid booster strategies -- how often people at different risk levels should be boosted and with what mix of variants?

@cyrilpedia This is great, it's the correct thing to do, and I am SO FURIOUS that it came two months too late for my baby who turns 8 months old today, when it was so obviously the right choice.

We have to stop pretending that #ImmunologicalImprinting doesn't exist, among other things.
