A new COVID-19 variant has emerged, serving as a reminder that the coronavirus continues to mutate and spread around the world, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations.

The variant is called EG.5 and is a descendant of Omicron.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that EG.5 accounted for roughly 17.3 per cent — or one in six — of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past two weeks.

    Mostly, we had to adjust the schedule to happen a little earlier to get the kids done a few weeks before school starts back up each fall.

      Yeah I’ll have to figure out when the new booster is going to come out and plan accordingly I think. Feel like I’m in no man’s land timing wise
