The new, updated vaccines won’t be out till Fall. How are we supposed to stay ‘current?’
I’m trying to make it to the newest one supposedly out in September.
But what does ‘staying up to date with you vaccination’ means?
Yearly jab?
Technically that advice will somewhat depend on statistics about infections which haven’t occurred yet. At this stage the CDC advice is to get 1 dose of any of the 3 available vaccines if you haven’t already done so in the last 12 months (for people aged 12-65)
I wonder how long before they just roll this into the yearly flu vaccine? It doesn’t seem like something that is ever going away until all the anti-vaxxers die.
Yeah probably not but it depends on how the virus changes over time. I read there is some early research potentially indicating that symptom severity is lower in the current wave than Omicron. If so and if that becomes a continuing trend that may impact the rate at which we vaccinate (or whether new vaccines need to be developed etc)
