Biden Administration Eyes Mid-September for New COVID-19 Booster Shot Rollout_我的网站

The Biden administration is eyeing mid-September for the rollout of updated COVID-19 vaccines, according to Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials.
“Vaccination is going to continue to be key this year because immunity wanes and because the COVID-19 virus continues to change,” an official said on a call with reporters. “For those reasons, vaccines remain the best protection against hospitalization and death.”
It’s the first time that vaccines for all three of the major fall and winter viruses – flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus – will be available.
The announcement comes as COVID-19 hospitalizations are increasing and the Biden administration hopes to get ahead of any potential fall or winter coronavirus wave with its vaccine campaign.
Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax have developed updated coronavirus vaccines that will target the XBB.1.5 strain, which was responsible for less than 5% of new infections in recent weeks, according to CDC data.
The dominant strain circulating now is EG.5 – nicknamed “eris” – that is causing over 20% of new cases.
Eris appears more transmissible and better able to evade immunity provided by vaccines and previous infection, according to the World Health Organization, but it hasn’t been associated with more severe disease.
Another variant to watch is BA.2.86, which quickly caught the attention of both WHO and the CDC. The highly mutated strain is likely not responsible for the recent rise in hospitalizations in the U.S., according to the CDC, but it is too soon to know the new strain’s transmissibility or severity.
Officials believe the updated shots will work against these strains.
“FDA expects that once available, the updated vaccines will similarly provide protection against the most serious outcomes of the disease that may result from currently circulating variants,” one of the officials said.
The CDC’s committee of outside vaccine experts will meet in mid-September to recommend who should get the updated COVID-19 vaccines. The officials noted that for some people, including older or immunocompromised Americans, more than one shot per year may be needed.
B | 广州警方在案件研判中发现,遭遇这种碰瓷敲诈的并非个案。 该团伙长期在驾校、机动车考场周边蹲守,专门锁定驾驶证被吊销、记满12分的失驾人员。
C | 锁定目标后,成员会在受害车辆底部粘贴GPS定位器,全天候追踪行车轨迹,伺机作案。敲诈得手后并不收手,还会盯住同一受害人反复作案。

掌握证据后,广州警方出动40余名警力,多点同步开展抓捕,将该团伙一网打尽。 需要提醒的是,失驾期间开车上路本身就是违法行为,可处200元以上2000元以下罚款,还可并处15日以下拘留。抱着侥幸心理上路,等于主动把自己暴露在碰瓷团伙名单中。遇到可疑事故,唯一正确的做法是立即报警绝不私了,同一辆车反复出险的破绽,交警和保险系统一查便知。
