Can You Get Another COVID Vaccine Amid the Summer Surge?

Find out who’s eligible as coronavirus cases, ER visits and hospitalizations climb.

By Rachel Nania, AARP. Published July 19, 2024.

Unlike influenza, RSV and other common respiratory illnesses, COVID-19 is not sitting out the summer season.

In many areas of the U.S., COVID cases, emergency department visits and hospitalizations are increasing. And adults 65 and older are especially feeling the impact of the summer surge, according to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At the end of June, hospitalization rates for this age group were roughly 14 times higher than for adults under 50.
