During the Fall and Winter of each year, <strong>cases for viral diseases like Influenza and COVID-19 tend to spike<\/strong>. Specifically, we know that the height of infection is usually in December, but the cases still typically begin to increase at the start of Fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">The CDC released their recommendations for the 2024-2025 season back in June, giving us all a helpful heads-up to plan our vaccinations once they became available. These recommendations apply to<strong> everyone 6 months and older<\/strong>, and now that these updated doses have become available,<strong> it\u2019s important that we schedule our appointments before cases are sure to increase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">As a matter of fact, many have reported a surge in COVID-19 cases over the end of the summer.<strong> Over the past four weeks (since September 7th), the CDC reports an average of 17.1% of Test Positivity across the country; some states have even reported estimates as high as 20%<\/strong>. This surge is related to the one we saw earlier in May from variant KP.2, as the CDC estimates that 52.7% of current COVID-19 cases to be from the KP.3 variant. This newer variant is another descendent of the Omicron variant, like KP.2, and displays an evident increase since July, when KP.3 was only estimated to account for 36% of cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Remember,<strong> updated booster shots are important because they account for more recent variants that are often better able sneak past the immunity built up in our immune systems by previous vaccinations and infections<\/strong>. If the CDC is estimating that a more recent variant is taking up half (52.7%) of all current cases, that makes updating one\u2019s immunity paramount to having a healthy infection-free season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">As you schedule your COVID-19 Vaccination appointments, consider which option may be right for you. C<strong>urrent mRNA vaccines that have been approved and authorized include the 2024-2025 Formulas for both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech<\/strong>. An updated formula of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine is also available, which is a protein subunit vaccine. For a refresher on the difference between these vaccine types, refer to our earlier blog post, <a href=\"https:\/\/nhcoa.org\/es\/get-to-know-the-covid-19-vaccination-process\/\">\u201cGet to Know the COVID-19 Vaccination Process.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Influenza vaccines are no different when it comes to how important updating their formulas is. The Flu is a virus just like COVID-19, and is known to change and evolve into new variants. <strong>The CDC has confirmed that all flu vaccines for 2024-2025 are trivalent, meaning they are composed of three components intended to account for currently prominent strains of the virus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">If you need help scheduling your vaccination appointment, check with your local pharmacy or try <a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send\/?phone=12026588664&amp;text&amp;type=phone_number&amp;app_absent=0\">NHCOA\u2019s Resource Center via WhatsApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">The blog is part of the<strong> #RiskLessDoMore<\/strong> campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInfluenza (Flu).\u201d The Centers for Disease Control. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/index.htm\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/index.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCOVID-19 Vaccination Clinical &amp; Professional Resources.\u201d The Centers for Disease Control. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/covid-19\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/covid-19\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMonitoring Variant Proportions,\u201d COVID Data Tracker.
