The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week released dropping its requirement for universal masking in health care settings in areas without high COVID-19 transmission rates. The Kaiser Family Foundation released a stating rates of self-reported long COVID-19 are 25% to 33% higher among adults who are women, transgender, Hispanic and without a high-school degree than they are among all adults. Consequently, long COVID could exacerbate existing disparities in health and employment. Children ages 5 to 11 may soon be for omicron COVID-19 boosters. However, many of the country’s youngest children have received a COVID-19 vaccine. (CDC , 9/23/22)
