A new poll by the Caesar Family Foundation found that half of the American public know little or no about the new dual-price COVID-19 booster targeting Omickron variants BA.4 and BA.5. Also, many Americans don’t know if it is recommended to recommend an updated booster for them.
Chin-Hong said the data from the Caesar Family Foundation shocked me. Not even knowing it is shocking because if you don’t even know it, it’s not even wanting to get it.
He continued, “So, I think people are tired, they are really left out of vaccine news, they ignore the coronavirus news that you just want to keep going.” ”
However, Chin-Hong stressed that Americans should get updated boosters as soon as possible to protect themselves.
He said that given what is going on in Europe, if you travel abroad, you might want to get it earlier than later. “I have an uncle who went to France and he tested positive for the coronavirus six hours before he boarded the plane. So, I think a lot is happening in Europe and it may affect you going home. "
He also advised the public to get flu vaccines to reduce their risk of getting flu and to reduce stress on the hospital system.
