Will we need another COVID-19 booster in 2022?

COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue a sharp decline in the Carolinas, but with possible variants always lurking, could we need some extra protection later on this year?

A second booster may come this fall but it might not be the same as the last time.

Moderna says a new vaccine is needed

Dr. Paul Burton, Moderna's chief medical officer, told NBC News the world is going to need an updated COVID-19 vaccine. Moderna, as well as Pfizer-BioNTech, could develop a new vaccine formula that targets the highly contagious omicron variant, or perhaps two strains of the coronavirus at the same time.

But no one knows what the predominant variant will be in the coming months, so an update is needed to provide the highest level of protection possible. The current booster shots in use, from both Pfizer and Moderna, are still formulated to target the original strain of COVID-19, which was identified in late 2019.

But just like the flu shot, there's no guarantee that any of the new vaccines under development will work as intended.

The question isn't whether we will "need" it, but whether people will be MANDATED to undergo it?
Shame on all public health workers for their active participation in this crime against humanity.

Perhaps instead of living in complete fear of COVID-19, it would be better to encourage healthier lifestyles and work to improve the slow pandemic of chronic lifestyle diseases exacerbated by COVID-19?
