The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved new COVID vaccines aimed at providing enhanced protection against circulating variants, particularly the Omicron KP.2 strain.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong emphasized that the new COVID-19 vaccines act as a "reminder" for the immune system, offering better alignment with the current variants to prevent severe outcomes.
Chin-Hong advises that October is an ideal time to get vaccinated for optimal protection during the winter months, particularly for those without recent vaccinations.
The updated vaccines are readily available for anyone six months and older, but targeting vaccinations should prioritize older adults and those with compromised immunity.
