Older People Should Get Another COVID Booster Before Summer
Quick Glance: Why Older Adults Require an Additional COVID-19 Vaccine
  • According to new guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older adults should receive the COVID-19 vaccine more frequently than previously recommended. Individuals aged 65 and older are urged to get another vaccine dose in the spring or at least four months after their last dose.

  • The decision is based on data presented by CDC scientists showing current high hospitalization rates for COVID-19 among seniors, with the biggest spikes occurring in those aged 75 and older. A significant portion of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are among people over 65 years old.

Quick Glance: Measles Outbreaks: Lifelong Protection or Need for Booster?
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns of increasing measles outbreaks in the U.S. and abroad, mostly linked to international travel.

  • The MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella is highly effective, with two doses proving 97% effective. A single dose already provides 93% protection.

  • The CDC considers you protected from measles if you either received two vaccine doses, received one dose and do not need a booster, or were born before 1957.

  • Once fully vaccinated, no booster shots are required, and the two doses provide lifelong immunity. Individuals unsure of their childhood vaccination status should consult with their healthcare provider.
