TRANSCRIPT:
JHA: "So here’s the simple version: If you’re 12 and above and previously vaccinated, it’s time to go get an updated COVID-19 shot. Now here a couple of caveats, because there are always a few caveats. If you got a recent infection or were recently vaccinated, it’s reasonable to wait a few months. Now, we expect millions of people to get the shot this month as folks get back to school, get back to work and get back into their regular routines after the summer. And as the annual flu vaccination campaign kicks into high gear later this month and into early October, we expect millions will choose to get their COVID-19 shot at the same time or over the course of the fall when people go in for routine checkups. The good news is you can get both your flu shot and Covid shot at the same time. It’s actually a good idea. I really believe this is why God gave us to arms: one for the flu shot and the other one for the Covid shot."
