Navigating COVID Boosters, Winter Wave, and Seasonal Illnesses: What You Need to Know
COVID-19 booster shot appointments are being delayed due to limited availability and insurance coverage issues. The latest update to the vaccine, recommended for everyone 6 months and older, is hard to find in Utah and across the country. Some pharmacies have had to cancel appointments due to supply delays, while others are facing challenges in billing insurance companies that have yet to update their codes. The rollout of the new shots is discouraging those who want to get vaccinated and may provide an excuse for vaccine hesitancy. However, health experts emphasize the importance of getting vaccinated to protect against COVID-19 and urge people to take advantage of the vaccine once the supply and insurance issues are resolved.
