The FDA has authorized a second COVID19 booster shot for people over 50. But for anyone without insurance, the vaccine as well as testing could now cost you. elijahwestbrook explains.
"The new variant subvariant, as it's called, is more transmissible than the original Omicron, but it does not appear to be more dangerous," said Dr. David Goldberg, an infectious disease specialist at New York Presbyterian Medical Group.Fearing spring surge, doctors say those eligible should get second COVID booster sooner rather than laterGoldberg said it's being closely monitored and added that getting that second booster shot may one day be recommended for all ages.
"For most people, I think it's gonna make more sense to wait until the fall to get a booster," Goldberg said."If you get a booster now, which is the month of April, there's a pretty good chance that the immunity to that will also start to decrease by the time you get to the fall."In the meantime, the federal government will consider whether the general population should become eligible.
"If at some point it becomes recommended that the full population requires a fourth shot, we're going to need additional funding," said Kate Bedingfield, the White House's director of communications.that's expected to help Americans access the tools needed to fight COVID. The president also plans to urge Congress to act swiftly to secure funding for the country's COVID response.
