The US is seeing its largest summer Covid-19 wave in at least two years, wastewater data shows, and it's hitting earlier than last year https://t.co/QrX9rQzTvP

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

With so many people getting Covid amidst the current significant wave, there's lack of awareness about the vulnerability to develop or worsen #LongCovid

New CDC #SARSCoV2 genomics
The KP.3.1.1 variant continues its rise to dominance in the US, accounting for largest fraction of new Covid cases, and a driving force for the current wave

[Meg Tirrell @megtirrell]

The FDA may greenlight updated Covid vaccines as soon as next week, sources say, as the U.S. is amidst its largest summer wave since 2022: https://t.co/du3FM8RGfA

FLiRTing with danger as #SARSCoV2 evolves
https://t.co/6f0eNGc7Yj @LancetRespirMed
Even though KP.3.1.1 is no longer a FLiRT variant, this editorial makes 2 key points
—Lots of mild infections, more #LongCovid people affected +sequelae
—The virus is still evolving and we're not countering in any meaningful way

@hallinen_diane @ImCdngrl1 @ashishkjha Thank you.

[VaxConnect Ky @vaxconnect]

@hallinen_diane @ashishkjha Yes, we keep wondering if the committee takes summer trips because we can never mobilize quickly enough in September when they give us directives. Thank you for explaining it to us.

[VaxConnect Ky @vaxconnect]

@hallinen_diane @ashishkjha Thanx! Why do the vaccine makers, CDC, etc. wait until fall to make the new vaccine, skipping protecting ppl from the summer wave? Each year we have a few people who get pretty sick/die in the summer. Why don’t they release it earlier?

[CDC Director @CDCDirector]

Plan now for updated COVID and Flu vaccines this season!

The best way to protect against respiratory illness is to get vaccinated. Plan to get both your updated COVID and flu vaccines this fall. Read more: https://t.co/duuUIn3IwL

@ashishkjha Thank you, Dr. Jha. When should senior citizens get their annual vaccine-how should senior citizens over a year out maximize their immunity?
