Although most people ages 75 and older received their primary vaccine series, those who are dying are either not up to date on their boosters or are not receiving treatments such as Paxlovid when they have a breakthrough infection, Jha said. He added that death rates are dramatically higher among people in this age group who did not receive their first booster last fall.
Jha said the most important step people in this age group can take to protect themselves is to get the new booster shots that target the dominant omicron BA.5 subvariant along with the original strain of Covid. Health officials believe the new boosters will provide substantially better protection against disease because the shots now match the main Covid variant circulating in the U.S.
