Keep in mind the if you haven’t been vaccinated, the full course of the Abdala vaccine is three doses, given every other week. The 92% protection against serious illness is only after the third dose. As best I can tell from the one study, the study was done before any of the omicron variants. The vaccine itself was formulated before omicron, and has not been reformulated to include omicron. If there were a choice Pfizer or Moderna would likely be better since they both include Omicron.

Absolutely! Puking, etc. aside..... I'm probably the only one here who has had serious nasties after a booster, but I've had two and glad I did it!

From what I can see, it is about 92% effective in preventing serious disease and death. This is pretty close to Pfizer and Moderna. My only concern is that the only paper is from Cuban scientists, so it may not be unbiased. It has not been approved by WHO as best I can tell. That said if it were the only choice available to me, I’d take it.

I also would not be in a hurry to get the Cuban vaccine!

Yet tens of thousands of Mexicans here in Guerrero including my family and me will gladly receive it and be grateful for it.

Considering how incredibly ill I got after the last two boosters, I'm going to pass.

114,000 dosis of the Cuban "Abdala" vaccine for Covid-19 arrived in Guerrero Friday morning. These will be used for adults. Stay tuned.

Is Abdala effective against BA.5 Omicron? I can't tell by the Wiki page. I'm assuming that's the strain hitting your region.

It doesn't matter. It'll have to do. It's what we're getting.

From Dec. 16 to the 24 Las Posadas are traditionally celebrated here in Mexico. Get ready to enjoy yourself!

Crowds were arriving by bus since early this morning. Enjoy whatever peace and quiet you can find because it's going to be crowded and noisy before you know it.

FINALLY after years of me and others suggesting it, the ayuntamiento is having arriving tour buses park at the Central de Autobuses. D-uh! Let's see if they actually enforce this new rule or if it's just talk.

Downtown Zihuatanejo is awash in twinkling lights and very non-Mexican looking Christmas decorations. Very weird and Disneylandish.

I feel bad for all the musicians trying to make a living along the waterfront because the city keeps playing loud music at the Cancha Municipal and musicians can't perform anywhere within earshot for being drowned out.

It's supposed to get down into the teens tonight: 19°C. Brrrr! Still no snow in the forecast, though.

A heavenly getaway for the perfect stress-free vacation can be found at Casa La Paloma, a beachfront vacation home on Playa Troncones. Sleeping capacity is 12 in 6 bedrooms. Enjoy the poolside bar and large gourmet kitchen, as well as the oceanfront palapas with hammocks and lounge chairs.
