Government Boosts Program , to Offer Households Additional , Free COVID Tests.
ABC reports that the government will offer households
an additional four free COVID-19 tests ahead of the
approaching holiday season and a potential rise in cases.
The offer, available at covidtests.gov,
is one of the last remaining ways for people
in the U.S. to obtain free at-home rapid tests. .
Last spring, the end of the public health
emergency also ended insurance companies'
requirement to provide eight tests per month. .
Based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, health officials have anticipated a similar
number of hospitalizations in 2023 as there were last year.
In 2022, hospitalizations peaked
at almost 45,000 per week. .
In September, the government relaunched
its test ordering site, offering
four tests for every household. .
The government has now offered an
additional four tests, bringing the total number
of at-home tests to eight per household.
The Administration for Strategic Preparedness
and Response (ASPR) says that about 14.5 million
households have ordered tests since the site
relaunched, equalling 58 million free tests distributed. .
Health officials have said that the tests are
meant to help people prepare for gatherings,
particularly with those more vulnerable to COVID.
We're going to see families gather
with older loved ones and younger
loved ones and it's important that
they are able to protect their loved
ones from COVID as we head
into the winter months, Dawn O'Connell, Head of ASPR, via ABC.

CDC Report Shows That , 13.9% of US Adults , Have Received an Updated COVID Vaccine.
ABC reports that as of November 13, approximately
36 million adults in the United States have
received an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
According to new data from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, about 3.5 million
children have also received an updated shot. .
Compared to 2022, that figure is roughly equal
to the number of Americans who received
a bivalent booster by this time of the year. .
ABC points out that the numbers mean that only
13.9% of adults in the U.S. have been vaccinated.
In September, a poll conducted by the KFF COVID-19
Vaccine Monitor suggested that nearly twice as
many adults said they planned to get the vaccine.
According to that poll, 23% of adults said they were
"definitely" planning on getting the updated booster,
while another 23% said they would "probably" get one.
The latest vaccine targets variants
currently in circulation, which are an offshoot
of the Omicron variant known as XBB.
Both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna have formulations
intended for people six months and older,
while Novavax offers a dose for those over the age of 12.

According to public health experts, people should
receive respiratory virus vaccines by the end of

This year's numbers, aligning more
closely with pre-COVID patterns, indicate
a reestablishment of typical 'cold and flu'
season dynamics. However, we still have
to see how the rest of the respiratory
virus season plays out to know for sure, Dr. John Brownstein, epidemiologist and chief
