Making it stick...with a surge in respiratory illness across the nation, Naval Hospital Bremerton staff continue to adhere to CDC recommendations in providing COVID-19 bivalent booster shots and influenza vaccinations for all those need. According to Dr. Dan Frederick, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton population health officer and public health emergency officer, “The value of vaccination for respiratory diseases such as influenza and COVID cannot be overemphasized. That being said, it should be understood that vaccination does not make you bulletproof from the disease. Vaccinations are risk reducers. Some vaccines are better than others but they all reduce the impact of the disease they target. So while people may still get an infection after they have been vaccinated, their chances of getting hospitalized and dying is significantly reduced. To that end, our COVID vaccines did an amazing job keeping a lot of people alive who would have died without it. Especially when we did not have good treatment medications for a COVID infection."
