The CDC says vaccines were effective at stopping severe Covid-19 last year, but older Americans and those with multiple underlying health conditions face a higher risk.
The authors of Thursday’s study said people who face a higher risk of severe Covid-19 due to age or health conditions should not only get vaccinated, but also receive vaccine booster shots, take extra precautions to avoid catching the virus and seek medical treatment if they’re infected.
Experts have warned for months that the vaccines — while still effective atin general — could wane in effectiveness for some, especially as new virus variants emerge and months pass since people took their initial doses. For some officials, the push to distribute booster shots has grown more urgent since the coronavirus’ new omicron variant overtook the United States last month and caused coronavirus infections to spike precipitously.
