Fire up your #COVID-avoidance strategies. BA.2.86 is on the #CDC and #WHO radar because its mutations may bypass natural (“previously infected”) and vaccine-induced immunity. Currently about 1800 people are hospitalized daily with COVID; that number is predicted to increase into Sept. Given the research and experiences with Long COVID, and post-COVID morbidity even In asymptomatic or mild infections, best not to gamble. #MaskOn #WashUp
Thank you for the heads up! I wanna get another booster sometime this fall.
@kwsapphire There is a new booster coming Sept/Oct, but there is still a question as to how well it will protect against this new variant. But there will definitely be protection against other strains!
