Those with such compromised immune systems, are eligible from 1 December for additional vaccination if last vaccine dose was more than a month ago.įrom 1 December, immunocompromised individuals are eligible for additional vaccines - either an additional dose of Pfizer or a second dose of J&J. If they are on some kind of treatment that wipes out their immune system, in order to treat the disease, and you have that really weakened immune system, this is going to occur. She says this is the same case for cancer patients or organ donor recipients. These cases of extremely mutated viruses have only been seen in people who are either failing their treatment or who are not on treatment at all and have very low CD 4 counts. However, she says if someone who is HIV positive is on antiretroviral treatment and has a high CD 4 count and the virus is suppressed, they would be no different from someone who is HIV uninfected. This was someone who was infected with SARS COV II for three months and unfortunately died at the end of his illness, but they noticed at the time that some of the same mutations in this man, where some mutations popping up in mutations that had come up. The very first one, in fact, was described in the UK.


She says the origin of the Omicron variant is not yet known but a number of case studies have now been published in the scientific literature describing such a phenomenon in cancer patients. We have seen something like this with this newest variant of concern Omicron.

You may not even be that sick or you may not even know - but the virus can keep on replicating as your immune system doesn't get it under control. She says someone with that condition would often have an acute short infection but the symptoms of long Covid may continue for months.īut when your immune system is weakened and it can't handle the virus very well, that can go on for months. These types of patients are uniquely vulnerable to both being infected but also being chronically infected with SARS-CoV-2. It is in fact anyone who has an immunocompromised condition or whose immune system is weak in some way.
