Advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday recommended updated COVID-19 boosters for all Americans ages 6 months and older.
CDC Director Mandy Cohen will decide whether to accept the recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — a decision that will clear the way for the booster campaign to start in pharmacies and doctors’ offices across America.
More than 90% of circulating viruses are from the XBB lineage targeted by the updated boosters, presenters told the panel on Tuesday. The coronavirus continues to mutate, so drugmakers are trying to fine-tune the shots to match circulating strains as best as possible, akin to updated flu shots. Nearly three-quarters of Democrats plan to get the shot compared with 37% of independents and 21% of Republicans.
