The new COVID vaccine is now FDA-approved and available at local pharmacies but some doctors say the approach to who needs to get it is a little more nuanced this time around.
The number of cases did go up in August, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services, which reported about 3,000 COVID cases a week at its highest for the month and around 300 hospitalizations. For comparison, the all-time state high was approximately 3,000 hospitalizations a week and over 150,000 positive cases a week in 2022.
Health Insider Dr. Shad Marvasti says the virus and our immunity have changed over time, especially for those who have already gotten COVID. The vaccine has changed too, and is now similar to how flu shots differ each year to target the most recent strain."Whether or not you should get it, in part, depends on how many boosters you've had in the past, how recently your last infection was, and how...high risk you are.
If you're going to be traveling or around higher-risk individuals, he's suggesting the more accurate PCR lab test. Otherwise, practice good illness etiquette and stay home if you're symptomatic, mask up, and wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread of germs."You want to avoid traditional supplements like echinacea, golden seal, or elderberry. These ramp up your immune system and don't work well for COVID and can make things worse," said Dr.
The updated COVID vaccine should be free for most patients this year and you can get a flu shot simultaneously. Dr. Shad does remind patients that long-COVID symptoms are still unpredictable if you do get sick so you may want to factor that into your risk level.
