ONE AND A HALF MILLION ILLINOISANS HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE BIVALENT COVID-19 BOOSTER SHOT.
THE BOOSTER PROTECTS AGAINST THE LATEST OMICRON STRAINS AND WHILE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE VACCINATED IS PROMISING, STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH SPOKESPERSON MIKE CLAFFEY SAYS MORE CAN BE DONE.
BUT THAT’S STILL ONLY 11 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION SAYS SPOKESPERSON MIKE CLAFFEY.
CLAFFEY SAYS THEY ALSO EXPECT AN ACTIVE FLU SEASON SO IT’S RECOMMENDED THAT EVERYONE GET THE FLU VACCINE AS WELL.
