A check-in on COVID, flu and RSV cases, and an overview of new COVID and Long Covid studies. AMA's Vice President of Science, Medicine and Public Health, Andrea Garcia, JD, MPH, reports that the tripledemic wave is declining, but vaccination levels for COVID, flu and RSV among adults are still low. Plus, continued supply issues for the RSV vaccine for children, administration errors for the RSV vaccine, and two new studies that could inform future treatments for COVID and Long COVID.
