Updated Covid vaccinesOn Monday, the Food and Drug Administration approved the new Covid vaccine, which will target a variant of Omicron called XBB.1.5. When should you get your updated Covid vaccine? Older adults, and people with heart and lung disease, should also consider getting the RSV vaccine, says Pavia. "Because the ACIP gave a softer recommendation to the RSV vaccine, coverage is going to be variable," says Pavia. For those with certain Medicare plans, the RSV vaccine should be covered, specifically under a Part D plan.

While a new subvariant is causing increasing hospitalizations across the country and we await the updated Covid-19 vaccines, now may be a good time to put your mask back on, doctors say. Especially in certain settings like on plane rides and trips on the subway. The percentage of people who said they wore a mask outside of their home in the U.S. decreased from about 57% in January 2022 to around 27% in January of 2023, according to data compiled by the Covid States Project. Yet, "masks still provide good protection," says Dr. Andrew Pavia, chief of the division of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Utah and director of hospital epidemiology at Intermountain Primary Children's Hospital.
