White House Says Most People Will Need A COVID Booster Vaccine Every Year​

Dr. Ashish Jha, White House COVID-19 response coordinator, confirmed at a press briefing Tuesday that Americans should expect to get annual booster vaccines against the virus until further notice.
“I think for most Americans, it’s a once-a-year shot,” Jha told a reporter who asked how often people should expect the government to advise booster doses, as it’s doing now with the new bivalent vaccine that targets both the original viral strain and the new omicron variants that have taken over.
“For a majority of Americans, who are not in the highest risk group ― once-a-year COVID vaccine,” he continued. “I’m not saying forever. I don’t know how long. Obviously, we’ll see where the virus goes.”
He added that if the data suggests it’s beneficial, high-risk and older adults may be advised to have additional doses throughout the year.
Jha’s remarks come weeks after President Joe Biden and others in the administration began referring to the booster shot as an annualinoculation and thinking of it like the flu shot.
“For a majority of Americans, we’ve already gotten into a once-a-year rhythm,” Jha said Tuesday, referring to the booster shots that were rolled out late last year. “All we did by calling it an annual COVID-19 vaccine is call it what it already becomes.”
The current push for Americans ages 12 and up to get the bivalent vaccine comes ahead of major travel for the fall and winter holidays and a rise in indoor activities as the weather cools. Both are expected to increase COVID-19 transmission, similar to the last two years around this time.
Jha encouraged everyone eligible for the new vaccine to receive it before Halloween to ensure their immune system has time to generate its benefits before Thanksgiving. But so far, only around 7.6 million Americans have received the new dose.

Once again this kind of thing doesn't need any expert advice as anyone with human brain also will know Influenza jab is also leecomended once per year for the average person and twice per year for medical workers so of course covid19 vaccines will either leequire same or more KNN how can it be lesser when a infectious disease is more infectious than another infectious disease? KNN

That means you saying my uncle and boss sam are morons KNN :mad:
I'm pro vaccine. I just had my flu shot last week.

However when it comes to the Covid vaccine my suggestion is to wait for more data before taking the plunge.

All vaccines involve an element of risk which needs to be weighed against the risk of catching and dying of the disease the vaccine is supposed to save you from.

Of course I'm pro vaccine. I've stated umpteen times that I have had just about every vaccine under the sun. The only vaccine I have not had is the HPV vaccine because my doc laughed when I asked for it. He obviously had the impression that I was way past the window of risk.

What I am against is hypocrisy. The mRNA vaccines obviously aren't working anymore but of course nobody wants to say so because it would cost Pfizer millions and they obviously have a lot of clout.

mRNA vaccines can be tweaked quickly but the problem is that there are hundreds of millions of doses already in the pipeline between production and the end user so while production can easily be tweaked by the time the patient gets the shot it could well be out of date again.

Ref the influenza shot a lot of it is guesswork but it's an educated guess based upon prevailing data. There have been years when the quadrivalent concoction absolutely missed the mark because the wrong call was made and the predominant strain of influenza was not one of the four that had been anticipated.

The end result is a huge number of deaths but they aren't newsworthy so the average joe is blissfully ignorant.
