The CDC will soon recommend annual COVID shots, much like the current annual flu shots, said Dr. Mandy Cohen, the embattled federal health agency's new director, in an interview Thursday.
President Biden picked Cohen, the former head of North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services, to replace the controversy-prone Rochelle Walensky to head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost a month ago despite Republicans' objections.
Asked by a Spectrum reporter if the CDC were moving toward recommending one COVID shot per year for Americans, Cohen said, “Well, we’re just on the precipice of that, so I don’t want to get ahead of where our scientists are here ... but yes, we anticipate that what COVID will become is similar to flu shots, where it's going to be: you get your annual flu shot and you get your annual COVID shot.”
"We're not quite there yet. But stay tuned: I think in the next couple of weeks to a month we're going to hear more from our experts on COVID shots. But we expect a booster coming for this fall and winter season," Cohen said. "We've got to remember: the flu is circulating, RSV [respiratory syncytial virus] is circulating and COVID is circulating. But the good news is we have vaccines and treatment for all. We just need to use these tools."
Cohen said "early to mid-September is probably when we'll have the official guidance" on COVID. "But everyone should expect in this fall time to get a COVID shot and certainly to get a flu shot."

So, is the ‘CDC’ the bud light of gov agencies now? 😁👍
The last time I checked, 80% of the population declined to get last fall's bivalent booster.
It was a quiet memo.
What government agency isn’t a flavor of AB InBev?
Never, ever again.
Science: Covid is a benign illness to the vast majority
who get it.
If you’re elderly with a serious chronic disease
you should be careful, and maybe get the vaccine when a real one is invented.
True, in many cases. But in the military they are mandatory and also to work in many "health" settings - if you want to keep your job!
.Gov wants to save the planet—by shortening our life spans.
CDC is slow motion genocide in action.
She is a dope if she thinks anyone is going to line up for the clot shot. I will never get that and no one in may family has gotten the jab. Everyone has had covid and everyone made it thru just fine. These people are evil.
“If you’re elderly with a serious chronic disease
you should be careful, and maybe get the vaccine when a real one is invented.”
If you are “especially vulnerable” and need to be careful that is all the more reason to stay away from the vaxxes.
Folks around here (CT) run to get their vaxxes—herded sheep.
Propaganda and brainwashing works—that is why they do it.
Great. I’ll stick that right in my dedicated “CDC Recommendations Box” and flush it.
I live in Illinois. The only people that have taken the bivalent booster in any numbers are seniors 65 and older. The state averages about a 50% uptake rate in that age group with more in metro areas and less in rural areas. For those under 65 there are only a couple of Chicago area counties that are slightly above 20%
I’ll second that.
When you absolutely, positively NEED to reduce the world wide population to 500 +/- million folkx, ya gotta break some eggs.
the alien overlords have told us if we won’t do it they will do it themselves.
One worlders gotta lay the pretext/cover story for the great inevitable catching up of God’s children... so that the reprobates left behind won’t suspect they are damned... no matter what they are about to see happen on this earth or in the heavens thereafter.
Can someone do a link that works,?
Thanks
Another ignorant B_____ !. These stupid people probably got into medical school as part of the “quota” for minorities although women account for more that 50% of the population. This is truly raging insanity!
