A new Cleveland Clinic study of vaccinations of thousands of its employees had a surprising finding: Employees with a high number of vaccine doses, including boosters, were more likely to contract COVID-19.
The two mRNA vaccines, from Moderna and Pfizer, were released as a two-shot series. Since then, three booster shots have been offered. So anyone who took advantage of every mRNA shot that was offered has now received five mRNA shots.
“The association of increased risk of COVID-19 with higher numbers of prior vaccine doses in our study was unexpected,” the study says.
A strength of the study is that it has a large sample size, the paper notes.
But the report also says that two other studies also show a connection between multiple vaccine shots and an increased risk of getting COVID-19.
“A large study found that those who had an omicron variant infection after previously receiving three doses of vaccine had a higher risk of reinfection than those who had an omicron variant infection after previously receiving two doses of vaccine," it states.
"Another study found that receipt of two or three doses of an mRNA vaccine following prior COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of reinfection than receipt of a single dose."
