"Annual COVID Shots Expected, Much Like Flu Shots, Says New CDC Director"

"In an interview with Spectrum News, the new Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Mandy Cohen, announced that her agency anticipates the COVID-19 vaccine becoming an annual vaccination, much like the flu shot.

The CDC is finalizing a new recommendation, expected to be announced in early September, stating that Americans should receive an annual COVID-19 booster to protect against the coronavirus.

'We’re just on the precipice of that, so I don’t want to get ahead of where our scientists are here and doing that evaluation work, but yes we anticipate that COVID will become similar to flu shots, where it is going to be you get your annual flu shot, and you get your annual COVID shot,' Dr. Mandy Cohen told Spectrum News at the CDC’s headquarters in Atlanta.

'We’re not quite there yet, but stay tuned,' she added. 'I think within the next couple of weeks, month we’re going to hear more from our experts on COVID shots.'

Dr. Cohen expressed concern about parents opting out of vaccinating their children, particularly concerning given her worries about the looming 'tripledemic' of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

'I’m very worried about parents not vaccinating kids,' Cohen said...

The Gateway Pundit previously reported during Cohen’s tenure as the top health official for North Carolina, she aggressively pushed COVID restrictions and laughed about the impact on Americans."

As NC health director, @DrMandyCohen felt comfortable wielding dictatorial power. Here she laughs about consulting with her counterparts in other states:
