There’s a new COVID-19 vaccine coming this fall. We all may start getting annual vaccines for COVID and the flu. With vaccines available for RSV as well, health officials hope to avoid a \u201ctripledemic\u201d in the fall of 2023 and the winter of 2024 like we experienced last fall and winter.

COVID-19 is here to stay, and that reality is changing how public health officials talk about COVID vaccines for fall, 2023.<\/p>\n

Rather than thinking about new COVID-19 doses as “boosters,” public health experts now think of the shots as annual doses that they hope will protect as many people as possible from the newest variants.<\/p>\n

As we prepare for colder weather, cases of COVID-19 may increase again, just as they have in past years. Public health experts expect similar patterns with COVID-19 as we’ve seen with flu. It’s normal for flu cases to spike each fall and winter.<\/p>\n

New to the vaccination conversation this fall is respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV<\/a>. Three new vaccines have been approved for RSV since the beginning of May.<\/p>\n

The hope is that, with widespread acceptance of this year\u2019s flu and coronavirus vaccines and strategic adoption of the new RSV vaccines, the United States won\u2019t see a repeat of the \u201ctripledemic\u201d of late 2022 and early 2023. Here are some questions and answers about the state of the coronavirus in the United States and the status of the coronavirus and RSV vaccines.<\/p>\n

Will there be another wave of COVID-19 cases in fall, 2023 or winter, 2024, as there has been every fall and winter since the disease emerged?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No one can say for sure, says Dr. Michelle Barron<\/a>,\u00a0senior medical director of infection prevention and control for UCHealth\u00a0and a\u00a0professor of medicine and infectious diseases<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0University of Colorado School of Medicine\u00a0on the\u00a0Anschutz Medical Campus<\/a>. But, she says, the Southern Hemisphere\u2019s experience often foreshadows what happens here.\u00a0

\u201cThey did see a surge during their fall-winter season of COVID, in addition to flu and RSV, so I think we anticipate \u2013 at least we’re planning for \u2013 something similar to happen in the Northern Hemisphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the status of COVID vaccines? When should I get my next dose?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In June, U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisors settled on the then-dominant XBB.1.5 variant<\/a> as the basis for this fall\u2019s annual COVID-19 vaccine. Like all circulating variants, it\u2019s a descendant of the BA.2 omicron strain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax are now making millions of doses. Assuming FDA approval, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to recommend who should get the new vaccine by late September. (Update: The new vaccines were authorized for Pfizer and Moderna on Sept. 12, and they are recommended for everyone ages 6-months and older.)<\/p>\n

As of early August, the CDC estimated<\/a> that about 10% of U.S. cases stemmed from XBB.1.5, down from about three-quarters of cases in April. The EG.5 variant accounted for about 17% of cases as of early August and appeared to be on track to become the dominant strain in the coming weeks. But if history is any guide, its reign, too, will be brief.<\/p>\n

Will the fact that the prevailing coronavirus strain by this fall won\u2019t be XBB.1.5 impact the new COVID vaccine\u2019s effectiveness? Should I still get another dose?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While a perfect match would have been ideal, the emerging variants are all related \u2013 many of them the children of XBB.1.5 \u2013 and that\u2019s grounds for optimism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe immunogenicity that you’ll get from the vaccine is good enough to protect you from what’s circulating now, and, if there’s a new-cousin variant that’s circulating in the fall, that the vaccine will still be pretty protective,\u201d Barron said.<\/p>\n

Are people still being hospitalized for COVID in 2023?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes, but many fewer people need to be hospitalized now compared to the most difficult periods of the pandemic. UCHealth hospitals had 36 coronavirus hospitalizations<\/a> as of late August, compared to an omicron-wave peak of 434 in Jan. 2022. Nationally, 9,056 people were hospitalized for COVID-19 in the week ended Aug. 9, according to CDC data<\/a>. That\u2019s a 12.5% increase over the week before, but far below the omicron variant peak in January 2022, when there were around 150,000 U.S. hospitalizations a week.<\/p>\n

Are COVID-19 vaccines worth the risk of potential side effects? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes. In the United States alone, coronavirus vaccines averted an estimated<\/a> 3 million deaths, 18 million hospitalizations, and more than $1 trillion in health care costs during the first two years of the pandemic alone. Millions of long COVID cases were avoided, and research suggests<\/a> that those who ended up with COVID-19 or long COVID had milder cases if they\u2019ve been vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Given the billions of coronavirus vaccine doses administered since early 2021, the side effects are well documented<\/a>. They are generally mild, and more serious ones, such as myocarditis<\/a> \u2013 inflammation of the heart muscle \u2013 are exceedingly rare.<\/p>\n

What is RSV, and who\u2019s at risk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

RSV is a respiratory illness that\u2019s riskiest for the old \u2013 particularly those 75 and older with have conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or chronic lung disease \u2013 and the very young.<\/p>\n

When did RSV vaccines become available, and who can get them?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The FDA approved the RSV vaccines Abrysvo and Adrexy in May 2023 for those over 60. The following month, the FDA approved Beyfortus, a monoclonal antibody. In early August, the CDC recommended<\/a> that infants less than 8 months old receive the Beyfortus, and that those ages 8 months to 19 months also receive it if they are at risk of severe RSV disease.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the story with the flu vaccine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The CDC published<\/a> its 2023-2024 flu-vaccine recommendations in late June and said that everyone six months and older should be vaccinated. It\u2019s most important for adults over 65, children under 5 and those with weak immune systems to be sure to get their flu shots.<\/p>\n

The CDC estimates that those who got the 2022-2023 flu vaccine were 40% to 70% less likely to be hospitalized for the flu and related complications than those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

What will flu vaccines cost me?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Flu shots typically are covered for those with health insurance. Federal<\/a> and corporate programs should cover the uninsured. Uninsured children will be covered through the CDC\u2019s Vaccines for Children<\/a> program.<\/p>\n

Can I get the coronavirus, flu, and RSV vaccines at the same time, assuming they\u2019re available and I\u2019m eligible?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Getting the coronavirus and flu vaccines simultaneously was shown to be safe last year. Health officials expect the same to hold true for those who want to add RSV during the same visit.<\/p>\n

Whatever vaccines you\u2019re eligible for, get them as soon as you can, Barron says, because it takes a couple of weeks to take full effect.<\/p>\n

What other vaccines (shingles, pneumococcal) should people think about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Barron says now is the time to sit down with your provider to talk about what vaccines may be available. There are also online resources such as the CDC\u2019s vaccinations and immunization page<\/a>, where you can link to an online vaccine assessment tool<\/a> that can recommend vaccines based on our age, travel plans, and other factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many good vaccines out there,\u201d Barron said. \u201cMany people may be eligible for new pneumonia vaccines, based on their age or some underlying conditions. The shingles vaccine offers excellent protection.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
