Hearst Television, one of our media partners, produced a recent segment of “Get the Facts” partly based on our Q&A article about the updated COVID-19 vaccines.
In the segment, Hearst Washington correspondent Jackie DeFusco gives basic information about the updated COVID-19 shots targeting the latest variants of the disease. DeFusco debunks common myths about the COVID-19 vaccines and then uses our article to answer three questions people might have on the updated shots: who pays for them; can older adults get the updated COVID-19 vaccine, the flu vaccine and the RSV vaccine at the same time; and would people need to get a COVID-19 vaccine every year.
To get the answers to these and other questions, see our full story, “Q&A on the Updated COVID-19 Vaccines.”
