Anticipated Rise in Covid Cases: Preparing for Winter

Recent data shows an increase in Covid cases, marking a summer wave. Experts predict another surge during winter.

Many states link pharmacists’ ability to offer Covid vaccinations to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations. This highlights the significance of these guidelines in ensuring the timely distribution of vaccines.

Earlier this year, preparations for updated Covid shots appeared on schedule. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee initiated the process by identifying the latest strains for targeting. The FDA adopted these recommendations and informed vaccine manufacturers to begin production.
