Case updates December 30, 2021 - 2.2 million new cases in the past seven days in the U.S.

Friday, December 31, 2021

The omicron variant is extremely contagious and is surging in all 50 states.

If you are vaccinated / boosted the symptoms are relatively mild. 

If you are not vaccinated - now is the time - omicron can be very serious.

Everyone is urged to get a booster.

If you initially got a Johnson and Johnson vaccine, you need to get boosted with Pfizer or Moderna. J/J apparently is only effective for a couple of months and is no longer being recommended.

If you started with Moderna, Pfizer is ok for a booster and may even give you an advantage. Moderna is testing out well but supplies seem to be limited.
