Originally Published 2 years ago — by Express
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning that protection against Covid-19 is decreasing over time and the virus is changing, urging the public to get the latest booster vaccine to prepare for the upcoming winter wave. While Covid cases may be falling currently, health officials anticipate a moderate wave in the coming months. The newly-updated vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are designed to target the omicron subvariant and offer protection against currently circulating subvariants. Experts also recommend booster vaccinations to minimize the risk of long Covid.
