Residential households in the US can once again order four free COVID test kits. You can sign up here. They ship free, starting September 30.
I got my flu and COVID vaccine on Wednesday. I did have some mild flu-like symptoms that evening, and both arms were sore, but that was it for me.
The CDC recommends an annual flu and COVID shot, but thanks to a vaccine phobia and a distrust of health institutions, fewer people are doing so. Last year, only 45% of American adults got a flu vaccine, and even fewer (23%) got a COVID shot. This year, most Americans are staying away from flu and COVID vaccines as well. The 2023-24 flu season killed between 17,000-100,000 Americans. As of June 1, 2024, CDC estimates that COVID has killed 1.2 million in the US.
