Comments from the White House last week suggesting a once-a-year COVID-19 shot for most Americans, 'just like your annual flu shot,' were met with backlash from many who say COVID-19 and influenza come from different viruses and need different schedules.
last month says nasal vaccines “offer the potential to trigger robust protective immune responses at the predominant sites of pathogen infection" and potentially"can prevent an infection from becoming established in the first place, rather than only curtailing infection and protecting against the development of disease symptoms."
He says there is a reasonable analogy between COVID-19 and influenza, but warns,"don't push the analogy." The currently updated COVID-19 vaccine may be the first step toward an annual vaccine, but it's only the first step, Schaffner says."We haven't committed to further steps yet because we're watching this virus."
"Communication around vaccines is very muddled and that shows in our overall vaccination rates, particularly booster rates," she says."The overall strategy is hopeful and makes sense if we're going to progress that way based on data."
