Things are becoming clearer about the rollout of the latest Covid vaccine after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this week released updated guidance regarding the new Covid-19 vaccines.
In a 12 September statement, the agency said the updated boosters — which will target newer variants of the virus — are recommended for everyone six months and older. The vaccine provides protection against the BA.2.86 variant, also known as Pirola, and is “the best way to protect yourself against severe disease” as cold and flu season approaches, the statement said.
