Please Just Get the Dang Updated COVID Booster Shot 

GQ – It’s good for you, it’s good for your community, and it’s widely available right now. This time around a pair of new vaccines, the updated or “bivalent”  boosters from Pfizer and Moderna, could curb another winter spike. They’re both FDA-approved, and they both are designed to protect against the latest omicron sub-variants. They’re available near you right now, and if you’re in the U.S., you’re almost certainly eligible to get one. And, “They are probably our best hope of avoiding severe illness, hospitalization and potentially long COVID as we head into the cooler months,” says Dr. Seth Cohen, medical director of Infection Prevention at University of Washington Medical Center.
