BrainstormNew from COVID19 Vaccine Tracker: valerie: Airlangga University: UNAIR Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccine → https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/vaccines/181/21:47
de-factoAsako, the idea being to maximize the overlap for the time dependent vaccine protection (roughly starting two weeks after boosting and then declining exponentially with a half life of maybe 2 months) with the time dependent probability for getting contaminated and infected (hence the shape of the "usual" COVID wave of the previous years for your location, you would need to look that up in the dataset for your region)21:52
de-factoanother idea could be to go for a quantitative antibody test to see how much is left of the antibody titers of the 4th shot to schedule the 5th shot accordingly, but those are not guaranteed to give an estimate for the real protection, just a hint21:54
de-factoif you are in a risk group or of elderly age you definitely should make sure that you get your vaccine protection prior to the expected start of the wave in your location and age group21:57
de-factoand of course also continue to decrease contamination dose and risk by wearing masks, demanding air exchange, reducing exposure time, staying away from people etc21:59
