They\u2019re not providing the same protection that they did when you first got them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This waning is more acute in \u201cimmunocompromised\u201d people,&nbsp;Tartof&nbsp;explained, which includes people\u2014often seniors\u2014facing an array of challenges&nbsp;such as&nbsp;leukemia, lymphoma, HIV, AIDS, stem cell or organ transplantation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really important to&nbsp;protect yourself by staying&nbsp;up to date and to try to keep track of what current recommendations are,\u201d Tartof said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s confusing,\u201d Tartof admitted.&nbsp;But, she said, \u201canother thing I do is study long COVID. Those very debilitating symptoms are actually pretty much impossible to treat,\u201d&nbsp;she warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery time I feel hesitant, I just think that I\u2019m more willing to take risks with the vaccine, which are actually very minimal compared to the risks of long-term,\u201d Tartof said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of those California seniors lost to COVID, 45 percent were Latino, more than twice their 22 percent of&nbsp;the population aged 65 to 79. African Americans, 5.5 percent of that age group, experienced an 8 percent death rate, Chan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statewide, more than 80 percent of&nbsp;older adults&nbsp;have been vaccinated, 70 percent have had one booster, almost 30 percent have had two. But these statewide figures do not reflect regional differences, Chan cautioned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t have a one-size-fits-all approach to getting people vaccinated,\u201d Chan said. \u201cThis is long-term work for the safety of all the older adults in our state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rate of positive tests for COVID in California stands at 13.2 percent, probably an undercount,&nbsp;Chan said,&nbsp;but still 1.5 percentage points higher than the week before. And with 3,100 people currently hospitalized, he said, we\u2019re back to the level we were in March,&nbsp;when&nbsp;Omicron spiked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There\u2019s plenty of vaccines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s good news too.&nbsp;Unlike the early days of vaccine availability, Chan said,&nbsp;\u201cWe have plenty of vaccine,\u201d so the days of rationing are over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also know that vaccines work,\u201d Chan said, and cited state data from May&nbsp;showing&nbsp;that people&nbsp;without&nbsp;vaccines are five times more likely to get COVID, seven times more likely to be hospitalized&nbsp;for it&nbsp;and 10 times more likely to die than those vaccinated and boosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaccines are being approved for more age groups, and there\u2019s a potential for more specific vaccines targeting variants as they emerge, Chan noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Chan said, \u201caccess is easier than ever before,\u201d&nbsp;with systems in place to vaccinate people at home, if necessary, that can be&nbsp;obtained with or without internet or&nbsp;cell phone access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free transportation or in-home delivery of vaccinations and boosters can be arranged in multiple languages by calling 1-833-422-4255. On the web, go to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myturn.ca.gov\/\"><strong>myturn.ca.gov<\/strong><\/a>, DeMarois said. The site&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/covid19.ca.gov\/\"><strong>covid19.ca.gov<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;also has information and scheduling help available in dozens of languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caregiver<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state has 11 caregiver resource centers (CRCs) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caregivercalifornia.org\/\"><strong>caregivercalifornia.org<\/strong><\/a>) (1-800-510-2020, multiple languages) offering an array of free services to support those caring for people 60 and older or for adults with cognitive impairment issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Velasquez\u2019s Southern Caregiver Resource Center is focused on San Diego and Imperial counties, where people 60 or older were 86 percent of the 5,000 COVID deaths recorded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of Velasquez\u2019s care-provider clients, he said,&nbsp;more than 70 percent&nbsp;were&nbsp;spending&nbsp;more than 40 hours per week providing care and&nbsp;got no paid help. They self-reported fair to poor and worsening health, moderate to severe depression and loneliness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCaregivers usually don\u2019t want help for themselves,\u201d Velasquez said, but when Covid hit, the challenges of social distancing eventually led to increased calls for help in the form of the \u201crespite services\u201d CRCs can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his CRC\u2019s 516 family caregivers, it came to a combined 192,600 hours in one year, Velasquez said. \u201cYou have to get them to think&nbsp;that&nbsp;they\u2019re helping their loved one, even though they\u2019re helping themselves.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beware complacency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, the most worrisome thing is how everybody\u2019s become a little bit more complacent. Masks are not being worn on a regular basis. People are just tired. They just want to say, \u2018Covid is over, let\u2019s just do what we do,\u2019\u201d Velasquez said. \u201cWe really want to encourage individuals and families to consider safely re-entering settings where they can share meals, participate in activities and have multidisciplinary healthcare teams supporting them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[via Ethnic Media Services] \u201cYou might be done with Covid, but Covid is not done with you.\u201d So said Denny Chan,&nbsp;directing attorney with&nbsp;Justice in Aging, at a press briefing&nbsp;co-hosted by&nbsp;the California Department of Aging on June 29&nbsp;to address&nbsp;the high risks older adults still face from COVID-19 and what steps will protect them.
