We\u2019re all used to the winter season being a time where respiratory diseases have higher rates of infections, but <strong>COVID-19 is unique in its dual seasonality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d844cc9866e8964152284c72c06ca0fe wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">The summer surge included an array of new variants, like KP.1, KP.2, and KP.3, which demonstrated new adaptations, some of which included an improved ability to evade antibodies. Back in August, the percentage of people reporting positive test results for COVID-19 reached its highest point since January of 2022, along with an overall increase to hospitalizations due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-70fe60729c729b420fd5eeae2865663f wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>With COVID-19\u2019s dual seasonality, winter presents risk for more surges of infection, along with the usual suspects of influenza and RSV which tend to spike in the winter<\/strong>. The CDC recommends that everyone <strong>6 months and older <\/strong>stay up to date with the latest updated vaccines. If you were infected with COVID-19 during the summer surge, you are now able to receive your updated dose to help <strong>prevent infection and overall spread during the winter season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0fdc26583389f157339b0b4d99215fcc wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Remember, updating your vaccination against these respiratory diseases doesn\u2019t just help prevent infection, it helps prevent severe illness should the infection make it past your antibodies. <strong>In the case of a COVID-19 surge, reducing your risk of severe illness is very important<\/strong>. COVID-19 vaccines reduce hospitalization risk by 80% and death risk by 90%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ef0ae611169feec942f92ced1ab03842 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines became available in early fall. If your last vaccination was during the summer or earlier, you should consider scheduling an appointment to update your vaccination. <strong>While you\u2019re at it, make the most out of your trip to your pharmacy or healthcare provider by scheduling your vaccination against the flu (influenza)! <\/strong>Getting your vaccinations against both COVID-19 and the flu during the same visit is called \u201ccoadministration,\u201d and studies have presented evidence that supports the safety of coadministration.<strong> It\u2019s not just convenient for your time, but for your health!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-121bcc8d9d14ff831b10d16fc95b8883 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Let\u2019s band together this winter to prevent future surges!
