CDC announcing new recommendations for vaccines this fall

Updated: 5:08 PM EDT Jun 28, 2024

SCHEDULING NEW SHOTS FOR YOUR FAMILY THIS FALL, THE CDC NOW SAYS MOST AMERICANS SHOULD GET AT LEAST TWO. HERE TO EXPLAIN IS DOCTOR SIMONE WILDES, AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST AT SOUTH SHORE HEALTH. GOOD TO SEE YOU, DOCTOR. HEY, DOCTOR WILDES, WE LOVE SEEING YOUR SMILE ON A FRIDAY ANY DAY. BUT ON A FRIDAY, ITS WONDERFUL. SO PEOPLE DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT SHOTS. OKAY, LETS GET THAT OUT THERE. BUT LETS START WITH THE FLU VACCINE. WHO SHOULD GET IT AND WHEN. YES. ED, I KNOW WERE JUST STARTING THE SUMMER SEASON. AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, AS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO PLAN AND WE WANT TO START BY TALKING ABOUT THE FLU. SO THE CDC RECOMMENDS THAT EVERYONE AGES SIX OVER SIX MONTHS, CAN GET THE FLU VACCINE. NOW, WE USUALLY START IN SEPTEMBER, ON OCTOBER. THOSE ARE THE RECOMMENDED TIMES. HOWEVER, I WILL SAY THE EXCEPTION ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE PREGNANT IN THEIR THIRD TRIMESTER AND WE WANT TO GET THEM VACCINATED IN JULY AND AUGUST SO THAT THEY CAN PROTECT THEIR BABIES AFTER BIRTH. OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. THE TIME TO GET VACCINATED. OKAY. YOU KNOW, WERE ALSO GOING TO GET A NEW COVID 19 SHOT THIS FALL. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT THE CHANGES? SO JESSICA FOR THE NEW COVID VACCINE? WHAT I WILL SAY AGAIN, THE TIMELINE IS THE SAME IN THAT WE WANT AGES SIX MONTHS AND OLDER TO GET THE VACCINE. AND WHAT WE DO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW COVID VACCINE IS THAT ITS TARGETING THE NEWEST STRAIN THAT WE HAVE. SO RIGHT NOW ITS KP 0.2 VERSUS NOT THE OLDER ONE, WHICH IS NAUGHT POINT ONE. BOTTOM LINE, YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE NAMES. JUST KNOW THAT THE NEW COVID VACCINES ARE GOING TO TARGET THE MOST DOMINANT STRAIN AT THIS TIME. SO SO DOCTOR WILDES, AS YOU KNOW, THE OTHER BIG WINTER VIRUS IS RSV. LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD A VACCINE THAT WAS AVAILABLE FOR ADULTS. SO WHO NEEDS TO GET IT? AND I ASSUME THOSE THAT DO SHOULD GET IT IN THE FALL. YES, WE DO GET IT IN THE FALL TOO, BUT JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO OUR VIEWERS IS THAT THE RSV VACCINE FOR ADULTS IS NOT AN ANNUAL VACCINE. SO JUST BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET CONFUSED WITH THAT. NOW WHAT THEY HAVE MADE SOME UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE RSV VACCINE. AND WHAT WE WANT IS FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT GET THE VACCINE LAST YEAR, THAT IF YOURE OVER AGE 75 OR IF YOURE 60 TO 74 AND YOURE AT RISK FOR SEVERE RSV BECAUSE YOU HAVE UNDERLYING LUNG DISEASE OR HEART DISEASE, OR IF YOU LIVE IN A NURSING HOME, THEN OF COURSE I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET VACCINATED, TO PROTECT NOT ON
