Summary

Covid cases are surging across the U.S. post-holidays, with rising test positivity, hospitalizations, and deaths, while booster uptake remains low.

Only 21.4% of adults and 10.3% of children have received the latest booster, leaving vulnerable groups, including the elderly, at higher risk.

Experts warn of continued dangers from Covid, including long Covid and economic impacts, as the virus has not yet reached an endemic state.

With uncertain federal priorities, researchers stress the importance of monitoring infections, updating vaccines, and using preventive measures to mitigate future waves.

    Where were they? My workplace had a vaccination drive mid-November, and I only got the normal flu one despite registering for both.

      They are widely available, and at my work vaccination drive we had both. Your place of work or the people they paid to administer the vaccines messed up. You can go get one tomorrow at most pharmacies that do immunizations
