is recommending an updated Covid-19 vaccine, which is better matched to the currently circulating virus, for everyone age 6 months and older. Those with certain underlying health conditions — approximately 70 percent of American adults — and weakened immune systems also are at greater risk than younger, healthier Americans. What’s more, anyone who gets infected with Covid can develop long Covid, and I don’t want any American to experience that if it can be avoided. People with long Covid can have many ongoing symptoms — like extreme tiredness, shortness of breath and headache — that diminish their quality of life. For people with health insurance, most plans will cover the Covid vaccine at no cost.
