The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its recommendations to include a new COVID-19 booster for individuals aged 12 and older who received a primary vaccination series or booster shot at least two months ago. The booster targets omicron’s BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants, in addition to the original coronavirus strain.
Federal health officials believe the shots will provide the best level of protection against the highly transmissible COVID-19 variants currently circulating—especially as we head into the annual flu season in the fall and winter months.
