SEATTLE (AP) — Health officials in Washington’s most populous county are urging people to get the new COVID-19 booster. Public Health – Seattle & King County’s health officer Dr. Jeff Duchin said in a briefing Tuesday that even people who have had a booster shot should get all recommended doses for maximum protection. Community transmission is relatively low in King County, with about 100 new cases per 100,000 residents in the past week. The new booster provides additional protection by targeting the omicron subvariants that are more transmissible. Officials recommend anyone 12 and older who has already received their initial vaccine series sign up for a booster appointment with their health provider or local pharmacy.
