Americans could soon be able to get a new vaccine and booster.
As COVID-19 cases continue to steadily rise, the U.S. government awarded $1.4 billion to start the development of new COVID-19 vaccines and therapies.
"We're preparing for this fall's vaccine season because we know ... the respiratory viruses that are out there are going to hit, and we're already beginning to see an increase in the number of COVID cases," said U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra."We're already getting ready to roll out our fall vaccine to help Americans stay safe and be prepared for whatever's next," said Becerra.Data published by the CDC Aug.
CDC advisory professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University, William Schaffner told Scripps News that the people most vulnerable should keep their guard up. "Older people, people with underlying chronic illnesses, whose immune systems are compromised, and people who are pregnant, should have their masks if they go indoors, if you're traveling, if you go into crowds. Take that extra layer of precaution," said Schaffner.
The government funding announced Tuesday includes $300 million to drug manufacturer Regeneron to use in the development and testing of a new preventive antibody expected to help protect people who don't respond well to vaccines.Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com
