As some people are fatigued by staying updated with COVID vaccines and the pandemic in general, doctors warn of ripple effects.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Lensey Ackerman got her primary series of the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as she became eligible, in part because she works closely with senior citizens in an assisted living facility.Ackerman's husband and six-year-old daughter also completed their primary series soon after they became eligible.
The COVID booster fatigue mentality that Ackerman is experiencing is something medical professionals, like Dr. Jessica Steier, are hearing a lot of lately. "I think there's a false sense of security," Dr. Steier said."It's no worse than the common cold or the flu, but that's not necessarily the case, and we can't predict future variants. Our advice is if it's available to you, it's a good idea to get it now."
Dr. Larry Bush, an immunologist who's worked extensively on COVID vaccine trials, said another long-term impact to consider is that getting boosted moves everyone closer to a true endemic stage.
