China Remains Vigilant Against Covid Resurgence

Chinese experts have issued a warning about the potential relapse of Covid-19 infections during the winter season, urging elderly and vulnerable populations to get vaccinated. The Chinese CDC reported 209 new severe Covid-19 cases and 24 deaths in October, with the prevalent strains being XBB variants. Experts highlighted the virus's mutations and the declining ability of the general population to fight off the disease due to lowering antibody levels. They also cautioned about potential co-infections with influenza and mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. While prevention and control measures are necessary, there is no need for excessive concern.

Navigating Fall Vaccines: COVID-19, Flu, and RSV Recommendations

As the winter season approaches, doctors are recommending vaccinations against COVID-19, flu, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to prevent a potential "tripledemic." A COVID-19 booster shot is recommended for those who haven't received one in 2023, and a reformulated COVID-19 vaccine with additional protection will be available in October. The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and older, and RSV monoclonal antibodies are available for infants and high-risk children. Older adults can also receive RSV vaccines, but shared decision-making with healthcare providers is advised due to rare side effects. It is acceptable to receive all three vaccines at the same time, although getting them at different times is also an option.
