New Covid vaccines are on the way as 'Eris' variant rises
A new COVID vaccine is due out next month, but health experts and analysts say it is likely to be coolly received even as hospitalizations from "Eris", a variant of the Omicron form of the coronavirus, rise around the country.
Some public health experts hope that Americans will welcome the new shot as they would a flu jab. But demand for the vaccine has dropped sharply since 2021 when it first became available and more than 240 million people in the U.S., or 73% of the population, received at least one shot.
In the fall of 2022, by which time most people had either had the COVID virus or the vaccine, fewer than 50 million people got the shots.

Inject that shit straight into my veins. It’s time for a booster especially now where nobody wears a mask anymore.
I've gotten Covid twice. Once early pandemic, and once when vaccinated.
I do not want to get covid without the vaccine again. 0/10, would not recommend.
Yep. I'm on immunosuppressive medication so gimme gimme - I've managed to only get one very mild case of covid so far and even that was fucking miserable. Do not want, please give more vaccine.
The vaccine goes intramuscularly, but I get your enthusiasm
Of course duh, I was just using the popular quote. Inject that shit straight into my muscles doesn’t sound as good.
You can still get long-covid symptoms that lasts months (or forever) while boosted, so I really wish people still masked whether they are boosted or not.
Really you should wear a mask indoors in public if you're sick at all, just for the sake of not getting everyone else sick
