Conversation on HC: Former White House COVID Coordinator Dr. Jha

Published: Oct. 8, 2023, midnight

b'Dr. Ashish Jha, the former White House COVID Coordinator, says he expects vaccines updated for this fall will provide a \\u201cgreat deal of protection\\u201d but he acknowledges there are questions about whether a young person should get the booster. \\u201cMy best read of the literature is that, yes, they should [get the COVID booster shot]. A reasonable person could read the literature and say, \\u2018I don\\u2019t know if that\\u2019s true and let\\u2019s have that debate.\\u2019\\u201d Dr. Jha says, unfortunately, that discussion is clouded by what he calls \\u201cnonsense and bad information\\u201d that causes confusion and ends up harming people. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are expected to soon approve the new shots.
