This summer saw a rise in COVID-19 infections across the U.S., driven by a new variant. To address this, updated vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer have been approved by the FDA and will be available this fall. The CDC notes the virus has been evolving, making regular vaccinations important, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

Dr. Steven Quay explains that the virus mutates frequently, making it harder for the immune system to recognize it. Despite the increase in cases, the virus’s spread is slowing in some areas like Texas. Quay also points out that while the pandemic is officially over, COVID-19 will continue to circulate like the common cold.
