CDC Updates Covid-19 Vaccine Recommendations

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its recommended COVID-19 vaccine schedule. These amendments further simplify vaccine recommendations and provide additional flexibility for people at higher risk of COVID-19 complications. The new recommendations allow older adults and immunocompromised adults to receive a second dose of the bivalent booster. Click here to read the CDC media statement.
