COVID-19 trends in Texas are hitting some of the lowest numbers seen since the start of the pandemic, but local health care professionals say protection is still necessary.Texas is entering into the spring season in a good spot in terms of the number of cases, emergency room visits, hospital admissions and deaths due to COVID-19, which are all steadily declining to some of the lowest numbers reported since the start of the pandemic over four years ago.
Currently, two kinds of immunizations are available: an mRNA vaccine by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna and a protein subunit vaccine by Novavax. The primary difference between the two is that mRNA vaccines teach the body to create proteins needed to fend off the virus, while protein subunit vaccines already contain pieces of the virus.
The CDC recommends that people over 65 receive two doses of the updated vaccines, and those five years and older receive at least one dose. However, due to their vaccination history, this can vary per person. This is primarily because there are no emerging dominant variants. El Sahly noted that cases caused by JN.1’s subvariants, JN.1.13 and JN.1.18, have been slowly increasing over the past few weeks.
They should also be provided at these retail pharmacies at no cost to the uninsured or underinsured through the CDC's Bridge Access Program. Although COVID-19 vaccines are supposed to come free of charge, administrative fees, such as appointment costs, are sometimes included.
