WHAT’S NEW IN THE RESPIRATORY VIRUS WORLD?

Community levels of most severe viruses are low, partly because of the big wave of COVID this Summer. Rhinovirus (common cold) is leading the pack, with COVID behind. This is a good time to update your COVID, flu, and if needed RSV vaccines to prepare for Winter holidays. Here is the King County Respiratory Virus Data Dashboard if you are interested. King County Dashboard

Masks? Currently we do not require masks in clinic unless you have respiratory symptoms. We watch the Dashboard and follow public health recommendations so this changes as needed. If a patient is masked, we will be masked with them. All of us have appreciated that we have less infections now with masking protocols.

Any other updates about COVID? The vaccines have been updated for the current strains. Moderna and Pfizer are mRNA vaccines, where as Novovax is a a adjuvanated vaccine like the flu vaccine. All are similarly effective and seem to wear off in 2-4 months, although continue to decrease severity longer. Here is updated information on who needs COVID vaccines right now: Current CDC COVID vaccine recommendations

Vaccines

  • COVID Vaccine Supply
    • Is it time for your COVID booster? https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html
    • Adults: All adults will need to receive their COVID vaccines at pharmacies. We can no longer be reimbursed by insurance companies for the vaccines.
    • Children: We have continued to get small shipments of Moderna for ages 6mo-18years. Call clinic to get on our schedule. They can be given at the same time as the flu vaccine.
  • FLU vaccine
    • We have regular dose adult and pediatric flu vaccines! Please come get your free vaccine.
    • If you are 65 or older and would benefit from the high dose vaccine, you should get it at a pharmacy.
  • RSV Vaccine
    • We have RSV vaccine for infants less than 8 months old and toddlers at high risk.
    • Adults 75 and older now qualify for the RSV vaccination. For those unaware, we had a terrible RSV season last year. RSV causes significant hospitalizations and deaths in seniors in our community. You can read more about the vaccine here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/rsv/hcp/older-adults-faqs.html
