The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months old and older get the updated COVID-19 vaccination, which was authorized for distribution by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week.
The head of the CDC suggested that the most important decision is not when to get the vaccination, but just getting it. 'The important part is getting it done,' CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said at a briefing.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, a UC San Francisco infectious disease expert, makes the case for an October dose. Getting the COVID-19 vaccine now or in October will offer good protection through the winter months.
Appointments are available at CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons, Pavilions and Safeway stores. Kaiser Permanente expects to begin making vaccines available by mid-September.
