Navigating COVID-19 Booster Shots: What You Need to Know.
TL;DR Summary
The US FDA has authorized a second bivalent booster for certain individuals most vulnerable to severe outcomes from Covid-19, including people aged 65 and over and immunocompromised people. The composition of the booster is the same as before, and it is not an option to select the original monovalent shot. Unvaccinated people 6 years and older will be considered up to date on vaccines if they received just one dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna bivalent booster. The CDC issued a permissive recommendation, which means that people can choose to get that additional booster if they wish.
