**Are False Positive COVID Tests Common? Here's What Doctors Say**

There's been a lot of talk lately about the accuracy of COVID-19 tests, especially when it comes to false positives.

As summer ends and back-to-school season begins, it's important to know about the updated COVID-19 vaccines coming this fall. The CDC recommends everyone aged 6 months and older get the 2024-25 vaccine when it's available.

**Key Points:**
- **Targeted Variants:** The new vaccines target the JN.1 lineage of the virus, an offshoot of the omicron variant.
- **Eligibility:** Available for ages 6 months and older. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna for ages 6 months+, and Novavax for ages 12+.
- **Availability:** Expected in August or September.
- **Cost:** Covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. The Vaccines for Children Program offers free vaccines for eligible kids.
- **Why Vaccinate:** Reduces the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, and helps prevent long COVID. Ensures protection through the winter months when cases typically rise.

Stay protected and updated!

🚨 **COVID-19 Is Roaring Back This Summer!** 🚨

Have you heard about the new FLiRT variant? COVID-19 is on the rise again, impacting 21 states as detected in wastewater. Even if you're vaccinated, you could still be at risk. If you have any symptoms, it's crucial to get tested immediately.

While the Federal Government has ended the USPS's free COVID testing program, there are still ways to get free COVID tests and treatments. The CDC has also updated its isolation guidelines: you can return to normal activities after being fever-free and having improving symptoms for 24 hours, rather than the previous five-day isolation period.

🔍 **Need Free COVID Tests or Treatments?**
- Check local health departments
- Community health centers often provide free testing
- Some pharmacies and clinics offer free tests

Stay informed and safe! For more details on where to find free COVID tests and treatments, read the full article here: [CNET Article](https://www.cnet.com/health/covid-19-is-roaring-back-this-summer-but-you-can-still-get-free-covid-tests/)
