Experts Discuss COVID-19 Vaccines: Insights, Misinformation, and Calculations

In a recent episode of the CNN One Thing podcast, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, discussed the current state of COVID-19 and the updated vaccines. While there has been an uptick in hospitalizations and deaths in the United States, the numbers are starting from a lower point compared to previous surges. However, there is concern about the potential simultaneous circulation of three respiratory viruses - COVID-19, flu, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) - during the upcoming winter season. The updated COVID-19 vaccines are formulated to match the currently circulating strains and provide good protection. It is being considered whether these vaccines should be recommended annually, similar to flu shots. People who have recently had COVID-19 may consider delaying getting the vaccine, and the vaccines are generally covered by insurance or available at a low cost. The safety of the vaccines has been questioned, but overall, the risk of the infection is considered worse than the risk of the vaccine.
