JN.1 is now 61.6% of new cases in the US.

This is a descendant of BA.2.86. The good news is the updated coronavirus vaccines protect against it. Make sure you make an appointment for it. Only 20% of adults have received it. All are eligible including children.

Coronavirus activity is extremely high right now. And people are still being hospitalized and dying from COVID. The new vaccine is your best way to protect yourself. Remember immunity can wane over time and new coronavirus variants are more immune evasive than prior variants.
