From CBS News: "Not vaccinated for COVID or flu yet? Now's the time ahead of Thanksgiving, CDC director says."
"With Thanksgiving only two weeks away, now's the time to get protected against potentially deadly fall viruses.
"In an interview with CBS News, Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said this is the best window to get vaccinated to protect yourself and your family for the holiday.
"'We know we're going to see more flu starting to circulate, and more COVID, so right now is a great time for you to get vaccinated. That way, your body can build up its protection ahead of the holiday season,' she said.
"Cohen got her COVID shot last month and acknowledged COVID vaccine uptake in the U.S. is a little slow.
"'I know folks want to leave COVID in the rear-view mirror, but unfortunately it is still here, and is still causing folks to get very sick and even die,' she said."
