Health experts still stress the importance of getting the vaccine. They say that vaccinations are still effective and remain the best prevention tool to avoid hospitalization and death.

A booster vaccine has only been approved for Pfizer, while discussions over approving a booster dose for Moderna & Johnson & Johnson are expected to take place this month nationwide.

“What is completely clear to me is that vaccines are working as intended to help keep more people out of the hospital and alive after COVID-19,” said Acting PA Physician General Denise Johnson. “Because I know it can save their lives, I have encouraged all of my family, friends, and others to get vaccinated and, when they are eligible, to get a booster dose.”
