A White House official told Reuters Sunday that the administration is set to launch a public information campaign encouraging all Americans to receive their coronavirus booster shot to mitigate the dangers of a new variant and increases in transmission during colder months.
According to the report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recorded increases in confirmed COVID cases and hospitalizations.
FDA-approved coronavirus vaccine makers have their own vaccines to target the new Omicron subvariant, XBB.1.5., the dominant variant spreading in the United States.
As Breitbart reports:
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.
Biden first urged Americans last year to get coronavirus vaccine boosters, recommending one additional annual booster shot.
