US medical groups unite to push fall flu and Covid shots amid guidance flux

US medical associations urge people six months and older to get updated fall flu and Covid-19 vaccines, aiming to counter confusion from shifting federal guidance. They stress vaccines reduce severe illness and hospitalizations, noting FDA-approved updated vaccines are arriving, including enhanced flu options for seniors and a new mRNA flu shot for 50+, plus FluMist for eligible ages. Covid vaccines are recommended for high-risk adults and children by pediatric groups, with seniors advised to get a fall dose and boosters later as immunity wanes. The AMA is consolidating safety and effectiveness data on SpreadTheFacts.org to provide consistent guidance.

Fall Vaccine Update: Updated Flu and COVID Shots Are Coming With Coverage

Fall will bring updated influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, with insurers expected to cover them despite ongoing uncertainty from federal guidance; major medical societies are urging routine vaccination for all 6 months and older (flu) and for high-risk groups for COVID, and the FDA has approved an mRNA flu shot (mFlusiva) for ages 50–64 that will roll out through pharmacies, though it may take time to become widely available. Annual vaccination is recommended due to yearly viral mutation and waning protection.

Was Garnet Harper Denied a Kidney Transplant Over COVID Vaccination? What We Know

Online posts allege Garnet Harper was denied a referral for a kidney transplant because he hadn’t received the COVID-19 vaccine, but Snopes cannot verify this claim and has left it unrated pending medical records and confirmation from the family and LHSC. Harper died in May 2023 from kidney disease; LHSC’s transplant FAQ historically required vaccination (with possible exemptions) and updated its guidance in 2023, but primary evidence is still being sought.

Veterans Study Finds COVID Vaccine Lowers Heart Risks in Older Adults

A large study of more than 1 million U.S. veterans found the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine was linked to fewer major adverse cardiovascular events in the following eight months, with about a 38% drop in COVID-related cardiac events and a 24% drop in all-cause cardiac events—especially among those aged 75+ or with chronic conditions—suggesting updated vaccines may offer broader protection beyond preventing COVID symptoms.

Military Ends Mandatory Annual Flu Shot for All Personnel

The Pentagon announced that active duty, reserve, and civilian U.S. military personnel will no longer be required to receive an annual flu vaccination, calling the previous mandate overly broad; the policy ends a long-standing requirement linked to readiness, with historical exemptions noted, and follows the rescission of the Covid-19 vaccine mandate, allowing discharged service members to potentially return under sworn attestations.
