As the BA.5 omicron subvariant surges, vaccine experts urge high risk people to get COVID-19 booster now
Fox News
Vaccine experts are warning people who are at a high risk of severe disease to get their second COVID-19 booster now, and to not wait for the next generation booster.
And, as the virus evolves, it is not known what version will be widely circulating in the fall or whether new vaccines - expected to target BA.4/5 in the United States and BA.1 in Europe - will be a good match.
"If you need a booster, get it now," said Dr. John Moore, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College, who co-wrote an editorial on the subject currently under review.
