A panel of advisers to the FDA agreed today that the next COVID-19 vaccines should target the XBB variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus now in circulation in the United States, but questioned who needs the shot.
The idea of these combination products is to make it more convenient for people to protect against both viruses, while also offering companies some marketing advantages.
“It's not clear to me that this is a seasonal virus yet,” said Bernstein, who is also a professor of pediatrics at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in New York. At the end of the meeting, Monto recapped the meeting’s key points, noting that there was a general consensus that the XBB.1.5 subvariant would be the best to use in future COVID shots.
“Practically, we're going to have one update per year, barring a heroic effort to deal with a strain that pops up that is essentially so different that it requires us to mobilize tremendous resources to address that strain change,” he said.
