After Biden’s recovery from COVID-19, his administration launches a new booster push

LA Times  

President Biden removes his mask as he arrives to speak in the Rose Garden of the White House on July 27, 2022. President Biden’s administration is launching a renewed push for COVID-19 booster shots for those eligible, pointing to the enhanced protections they offer against severe illness as the highly transmissible BA.5 variant spreads across the country. The initiatives include direct outreach to high-risk groups, especially seniors, encouraging them to get “up to date” on their vaccinations, with phone calls, emails and new public service announcements. “Given the rise of the Omicron BA.5 variant, it is essential that Americans stay up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations — with booster shots — to achieve the highest level of protection possible,” the White House said. “Staying up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines provides the best protection against severe outcomes.” As part of the new booster push, the White House says pharmacies in the federal pharmacy program will step up outreach to those eligible for another booster dose.
