The end of summer and the start of school may spur a rise in COVID-19 cases. The good news: There are key steps you can take to protect yourself and your kids. Overall, vaccination and boosters remain the best way to protect children and adults alike, experts say, and to prevent the spread of the virus.
"The message is simple: Basically, everybody who dies [from COVID-19] is unvaccinated or under-vaccinated," McKinney says. "If you want to get sick, you have the option. But you also have the option to be well. And the vaccine will help keep you well."
How are you keeping healthy this fall?
