PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — COVID-19 is not going away any time soon. As doctors learn more every day about how we must live with it, how do we keep up with the changes?
The development of vaccines against COVID-19 has been one of the greatest medical achievements in history due to the speed of development, the need for worldwide protection and safety profile.
However, we have learned that many who received one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine require a second shot. For those who received the two-dose Moderna or Pfizer vaccines and got their second dose more than six months ago, a third dose may be needed as well.
Being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 is your best chance to avoid long COVID-19, severe illness or death. As many of us expected, this will require boosters.
It is easy to get confused, and this is a time to speak with your health care provider if you ever have questions.
