Annual COVID Shots Under Consideration

The FDA is looking at recommending an annual COVID shot, much like what we do to combat the flu. However, with the University of Texas health system, Dr. Bryan Alsip says it’s likely that physicians would only target specific groups, like the severely immunocompromised. He thinks they could develop a COVID vaccine quicker than the one for the flu. That means they could easily match it to the strain circulating each year. He adds that a lot depends on how the virus progresses and if the waves come as we see with the flu.
