It is “becoming increasingly clear” that COVID-19 booster shots will become a yearly occurrence, White House health officials said during a briefing Tuesday.
“In the absence of a dramatically different variant, we likely are moving towards a path with a vaccination cadence similar to that of the annual influenza vaccine, with annual, updated COVID-19 shots matched to the currently circulating strains for most of the population,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United States’ top infectious diseases expert, said during the briefing.
This comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s independent committee on vaccines on Thursday recommended the first reformulated booster shots to combat the latest Omicron subvariant.
The committee voted in favor of recommending the Pfizer and Moderna shots meant to target both the original strain of COVID-19 as well as the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants.
“We know that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe. We know that receiving the recommended vaccine dose is critical to maintaining optimal protection against severe COVID-19, particularly for the elderly,” Fauci said Tuesday.
“And we expect that the updated vaccines will offer better protection against the SARS-CoV-2 subvariants that are currently circulating.”
Fauci and White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ahishish Jha said the booster updates are intended to handle dominant new subvariants. They also maintained that people with underlying health issues could require more than one annual shot.
“For the first time since December of 2020, these vaccines, our vaccines, have caught up with the virus,” Jha said during the briefing.
“Barring those variant curveballs, for a large majority of Americans, we are moving to a point where a single annual COVID shot should provide a high degree of protection against serious illness all year. That’s an important milestone.”
The Omicron and its subvariants have been dominant in the United States since December.

The operable question now is “Just how much did and does Fauci make for each shot sold by the Pharma companies he sold THE PEOPLE out to?” Not being content to be paid a higher government salary than even the President, how much richer has he become since the Pandemic started?
“As soon as a coin in the coffer rings another soul from purgatory springs”, so Johann Tetzel is believed to have said in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He was selling what are called Indulgences.
Fauci has indulged in so many coin coffer ringing COVID get rich quick, proclamations, his poor soul will no longer be able to buy his way into heaven. With Fauci you don’t count the coins, you just count the destroyed businesses, the suicides, the dumbed down school children, not to mention the defunded Taxpayers, and nursing home body bags.
TO ME the operable question is, SINCE ITS BLOODY OBVIOUS now, that these shots don’t DO JACK SQUAT, other than make it WHEN YOU DO catch the vid, the symptoms are lessened.. WHY THE HELL SHOULD ANY ONE SANE be forced to keep taking them!!!!
Fire Fauci ! and the big pharma will stop peddling their poison…..The only reason this pandemic is lasting so long is so that Biden and Fauci get their kick backs from Pfizer and the rest of the big pharma….
YOU can bet your last dollar, that everyone of those pharms, have donated to the left. JUST TO KEEP THIS insanity going as long as possible.
hell he should know he and his chicom cohorts created this virus.

IF it comes out of the mouth of Dr. Lying Fauci , don’t do it . He tells more lies than truths. Go back and check for yourself. He is an embarrassment to the Medical Profession.
