Given waning immunity of the population from previous exposure to the virus and from prior vaccination, we strongly encourage those who are eligible to consider receiving an updated Covid-19 vaccine.
The new 2024-2025 formula is meant to boost protection against hospitalization and death due to Covid. In 2023, more than 916,300 people were hospitalized due to Covid-19 and more than 75,500 people died from the virus in the US alone.
Like the influenza virus, SARS-CoV-2 is constantly changing. SARS-CoV-2 is changing faster than the flu virus, making it tricky to predict which variants will be dominant by the time the vaccine comes out.
The CDC recommends the new vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older, whether or not they have ever previously gotten a Covid-19 vaccine.
