Covid-19 related hospitalisations in the US are up more than 40 per cent off of recent lows hit in June.
A new Covid-19 vaccine is due out in September, but health experts and analysts say it is likely to be coolly received even as hospitalisations from"Eris", a variant of the Omicron form of the coronavirus, rise around the United States.
US healthcare providers and pharmacies such as CVS Health will start next month to offer the shot, updated to fight the Omicron version of the virus that has been dominant since last year. The top reason vaccinated people gave in KFF surveys earlier this year for eschewing annual shots was they believed they had protection from the virus because of previous shots or infections, she said.
CDC Director Mandy Cohen said last week in a podcast that she expects the shots — which still need to be authorised by the US Food and Drug Administration and recommended by the CDC — to be rolled out in the third or fourth week of September. She suggested Americans should view these shots as an annual measure to protect oneself, in line with the annual flu shot.
Dr William Schaffner, an infectious diseases specialist at Vanderbilt University and a liaison to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization practices, said it is possible that the ACIP could make a weaker recommendation for younger, healthier people. That could also affect demand.
