The Surgeon General has recently released a statement on who should get a booster shot now. Eating the right foods is an important part of staying healthy and preventing disease. Eating the wrong foods can have serious consequences. Eat This Not That is here to help you make the right choices when it comes to your diet. We will provide you with the latest information from the Surgeon General on who should get a booster shot now, as well as tips on how to make healthier food choices.
Surgeon General Says Here’s Who Should Get a Booster Now
The Surgeon General has issued a new recommendation for who should get a booster shot now. According to the Surgeon General, those who are at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19 should get a booster shot now. This includes people over the age of 65, those with underlying health conditions, and those who are immunocompromised.
The Surgeon General also recommends that people who have already received the full two-dose vaccine series should get a booster shot if they are at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19. This includes people over the age of 65, those with underlying health conditions, and those who are immunocompromised.

Eat This, Not That
In addition to getting a booster shot, the Surgeon General recommends that people at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19 should also take steps to protect themselves from the virus. This includes eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding contact with people who are sick.
The Surgeon General recommends eating a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This type of diet can help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of severe illness from COVID-19. It is also important to avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and foods high in saturated fat.
By following the Surgeon General’s recommendations, those at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19 can take steps to protect themselves and reduce their risk of severe illness from the virus.
Coronavirus vaccine boosters are now available to every eligible American, another tool to protect yourself. But who should get theirs, will we need to keep getting shots and what do we tell those who still resist the vaccine? Dr. Vivek Murthy, the US Surgeon General, appeared on NPR yesterday morning to discuss these concerns and offer 6 points of life-saving advice. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You’ve Already Had COVID.
“We don’t want people to feel that they need to rush out today and get the shot immediately,” said Murthy. “At their six month mark. If they got Pfizer or a Moderna and they’re eligible or at their two month mark, if they got J and J, by getting it, close to that as you can, is not a bad idea.” Here’s who is eligible, says the CDC:
“For individuals who received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at 6 months or more after their initial series:
For the nearly 15 million people who got the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.”
“That requires a bit of looking into the future, which none of us are amazing at doing. But we’re going to have to follow the data over time and specifically see how people’s protection holds up. Do they still continue to have a high protection against infection against hospitalization disease, the worst, uh, death, rather the worst of COVID and if their production holds up, then this might be the last that we need for some time. And if it doesn’t, then we’ll be prepared with advice on what additional shots people need down the line.”

“It’s certainly a possibility. It’s also a possibility that we ended up having effectively a three shot series with Pfizer, Moderna or two shots with J&J that lasts for several years. We use the history of vaccines, really, as a history of both options, you have the flu vaccine, for example, which is given on an annual basis, you have vaccines like hepatitis B, which you get three shots, and then you’re good for many years.”

“The CDC has maintained its current definition of fully vaccinated as getting two shots of Pfizer and Moderna or one shot of J&J. And so that would likely be a where the requirements fall as well. Now, could that change over time as they get more data and assess more data it’s certainly possible. But for now the definition of fully vaccinated remains the same and that’s what will be used for the requirements that you hear about around the country.”

Vaccine hesitancy “gets to the heart of whether we are a nation of 300 [million] individuals who exist on our own or whether we’re a community, one country, recognizing that our decisions sometimes affect other people. We’ve made decisions as a society in the past that on the freeway, for example, that everyone can’t just make their own decision about how fast they drive, because how fast you drive may affect my safety and wellbeing. So we have speed limits. We find with vaccines as well. And with infections, do infectious diseases more broadly that when somebody is sick, they have the unfortunate ability to infect other people inadvertently. So your health makes a difference to my health. The vaccine requirements are an effort to make workplaces, safer schools, safer settings, where people buy goods and grocery stores and other places like that safer. And that’s why they are so important.”
Murthy called vaccine mandates “a time-old tradition, we’ve been doing mandates in this country since almost the beginning. George Washington required soldiers to be inoculated. School started in the 1800s with vaccine requirements. So this is not new. They also work very well to increase vaccination rates. Finally save just, let’s just put this all in context. You know, we are in a moment right now where we thankfully have a lot of things to look forward to in good news, we see cases declining. We have boosters now, an option for millions of people which will extend and enhance their protection. We have vaccines for kids that may be on the horizon. And we also have millions of children, including mine who are back in school. So I’m cautiously optimistic, but my message to people is please stay vigilant. Please make sure that you get vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, if you are vaccinated, help other people to get back stated, and please wear your mask and indoor public spaces, that’s how we will get through this pandemic.” So get vaccinated, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don’t visit any of these 35 Places You’re Most Likely to Catch COVID.
