CDC Suggests Updated COVID Vax

USA – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director signing off on broad use of updated COVID-19 vaccines approved by the government – covering ages 6 months and up.

The final recommendation from Director Mandy Cohen comes after a panel of advisers to the agency voted 13 to 1 to recommend the shots made by Pfizer and partner Biontech as well as Moderna.

They did not choose to target the shots at specific high-risk populations as some experts have suggested, and other countries have recommended.

The shots are part of a push by public health officials to align the next covid vaccines more closely with the actual circulating variant of the virus, much as annual flu shots are designed.
