"Triple Threat: New Vaccines to Combat Fall Viruses Including COVID"

Updated COVID-19 vaccines are expected to be approved within days, just in time for the flu season. These updated shots target a new variant called XBB.1.5 and are expected to offer crossover protection against other coronavirus variants. The CDC is urging people to get their booster shots to maintain a normal way of life. In addition to COVID-19 and flu shots, vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are also rolling out for older adults and pregnant women. RSV can be particularly dangerous for children under 5, the elderly, and those with certain health problems. The FDA has also approved a lab-made antibody injection to protect babies from RSV.
