According to a Breitbart News report, the Biden Administration is preparing to push Americans to go out and get their booster shots to combat the latest wave of COVID-19 variants.
From Breitbart News:
Moderna and other coronavirus vaccine makers Novavax, Pfizer and German partner BioNTech SE have all reportedly created versions of their shots ready and aimed at the XBB.1.5 subvariant.
On Thursday, Moderna said initial data showed its updated coronavirus vaccine is effective against the “Eris” and “Fornax” subvariants in humans.
Pending approval from health regulators in the United States and Europe, the Reuters reports details companies expect the updated shots to be available in the coming weeks for the autumn vaccination season.
“We will be encouraging all Americans to get those boosters in addition to flu shots and RSV shots,” the official said, referring to the Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
The fresh push for Americans to line up for booster shots follows the revelation in January that health officials want to make coronavirus booster vaccinations an annual event in America, renewing a call first made by President Joe Biden, as Breitbart News reported.
Meanwhile, a former Obama admin official dropped by MSNBC recently to talk about the importance of masking (here we go again).
“A mask can be your best friend. Keep it. Back in time, we had them in our pockets, in our coats, and our backpacks. Time to bring them out again,” contributor and former Obama administration official Kavita Patel said on Tuesday. “Especially as the school season starts, we don’t want to see kids missing school for things that we could have prevented.”
