The variant is called EG.5 and is a descendant of Omicron.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that EG.5 accounted for roughly 17.3 per cent β€” or one in six β€” of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past two weeks.

Have you been boosting every 6 months? I've been mulling over getting another booster or waiting till the new one comes out. I've been more up to date than most, but last one I got was when the bivalent vaccine came out.

Mostly, we had to adjust the schedule to happen a little earlier to get the kids done a few weeks before school starts back up each fall.

Yeah I'll have to figure out when the new booster is going to come out and plan accordingly I think. Feel like I'm in no man's land timing wise
