Americans urged to get COVID & flu shots this fall
Federal officials are once again urging people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as infections start to spread. Moderna and Pfizer both expect the FDA to authorize their updated boosters by the end of the month.
The Dallas Fort Worth Hospital Council said there are 237 COVID patients in area hospitals. That’s double from a month ago and triple from two months ago.
Still, health experts warn those numbers could rise as children go back to school.
“We know that vaccination against COVID-19 remains the safest protection for avoiding hospitalizations, long-term health outcomes, and death,” the Biden administration told FOX Business.
The administration expects the shots to become available in September.
Public health officials are urging Americans to get their annual flu and RSV shots at the same time.
