These guidelines were consistent with its recommendation for other adults.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CDC last week shortened the suggested time between the third and fourth boosters to five months for those who received the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna shots. Immunocompromised people who received the single-dose vaccine from Johnson &amp; Johnson do not have to get additional primary doses, but the CDC does advise a booster shot of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines after receiving that first dose.<\/p>\n<p>The Times reported that \u201csome immunocompromised people sought out fourth or even fifth shots of the vaccines even before the C.D.C. changed its guidelines.\u201d The outlet noted that \u201csome experts\u201d said taking multiple doses of the vaccines in a short period of time isn\u2019t harmful, but it might diminish the effect of the vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>More from the Times:<\/p>\n<p><em>The C.D.C. has said that any American 12 and older&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2022\/01\/05\/world\/omicron-covid-vaccine-tests#pfizer-boosters-children-12-15-cdc\">can receive a<\/a>&nbsp;Pfizer-BioNTech booster \u2014 those 18 and older can alternatively receive a Moderna booster \u2014 five months after completing their initial shots with those vaccines. Israel has already begun&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/03\/world\/israel-will-offer-a-4th-covid-shot-to-people-60-and-over.html\">offering fourth doses<\/a>&nbsp;to high-risk groups including older adults. But the Biden administration has not yet said whether it plans to follow suit.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The news comes just after CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cdc-director-admits-over-75-of-covid-deaths-in-people-with-at-least-4-comorbidities\">admitted<\/a> that more than 75% of people who have died from COVID-19 had \u201cat least four comorbidities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, really, these are people who were unwell to begin with,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Walensky made the claim on ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America\u201d where she was also asked new CDC guidelines suggesting COVID-positive people isolate for only five days before re-entering society while wearing a mask. Walensky replied:<\/p>\n<p><em>Isolation, we talk about isolation in the context of people who\u2019ve had a positive test, who know that they are infected. And we now have dozens of studies referenced on the CDC website that have demonstrated that you are most infectious in the one to two days before your symptoms and the two to three days after your symptoms. So by five days after your symptoms, the vast majority of your contagiousness is really behind you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd what we say at day five, then, is: Are your symptoms gone? Are you feeling better? Is your cough gone? Sore throat gone?\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd if so, then it is safe to go out if you are wearing a mask all the time. And that means not going out to restaurants; not going out to gyms, not going out in visiting grandma, but really conscientiously wearing your mask for those last five days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
