Adults over 50, and particularly those over 65, should get omicron booster shots right away, the head of the White House COVID-19 task force said this week.
“If you’re over 50, certainly if you’re over 65, you’ve got to go get these vaccines because it actually, literally could save your life. It’s a difference between life and death,” Ashish Jha, MD, said.
He said people dying from COVID-19 didn’t stay up to date on vaccines or didn’t receive antiviral treatments after breakthrough infections. Jha urged everyone to get up-to-date vaccines and boosters by Halloween to be best prepared by the time the U.S. holiday season begins with Thanksgiving. More people spending time together indoors over the holidays and winter could lead to a spike in infections.
