You get a new booster, and you get a new booster
You all get new boosters!
Spoiler alert: the CDC is recommending basically everybody get a COVID booster this fall. That’s a good thing! There’s also a program to pay for shots for people with no or inadequate health insurance. That’s an even better thing!
With the highlights out of the way, let’s get into the weeds a little. As anticipated, the FDA has approved a new round of booster vaccines against COVID. At least, they’ve endorsed two of the three possibilities: Moderna and Pfizer. Booster doses of those two vaccines could be available as early as the end of this week.
However, the FDA did not give the green light to Novavax, the only non-mRNA vaccine available in the U.S. That’s been held up for undisclosed reasons, though it’s expected to be available before too long.
This is great news, but what does it mean for you, and for the church? To answer that, we have to look at who can get the shots, and who should get the shots.
So, uh, let’s do that?
