White House to prioritize vaccine boosters, testing to combat Omicron subvariant

The White House on Tuesday laid out its strategy to contain the fast-spreading Omicron BA.5 subvariant, saying it will ensure Americans continue to have easy access to vaccines, treatments, tests and other tools that protect against Covid-19. "These tools – even in the face of BA.5 – work to prevent serious illness, keep people out of the hospital, and save lives – and we can prevent nearly all Covid-19 deaths with them," the White House said in a statement.
