My husband and I are still being very conservative in our activities. We've had all our vaccinations and boosters, but the latest one was 6 months ago, so we're not depending on it to help much. Plus, we're 76. I really want to fly from California to Wisconsin at the end of September to visit family. Do you have any idea whether the "annual" booster will be available by then? Thanks, as always for your valuable, informative emails. You are my epidemiologist hero.
I do not. There has been a lot of silence from both CDC and FDA. Prior to the silence, we were hearing that there would be annual shots and they would be offered in the fall (around the same time as flu shots). But it is still anyone's guess. The UK is going to do spring booster -- but there is no word about what's going to happen here. Time will tell.... I would plan your trip. Buy N95 masks for the plane. And prepare for a good time!
It is so crazy to think it has been 3 years of COVID already. I was lucky to get vaccinated early and got all booster shots I am eligible for. So far I have never tested positive so I might be one lucky girl to never have had it and I still do whatever I can to stay safe. I think this will now never change but I don't mind!
