The CDC recommends a second dose of the new COVID vaccine for older Americans, emphasizing the need for a two-dose regimen this year based on infection trends.
Dr. Jeffrey Silvers explains CDC's predictive approach for an annual two-dose COVID vaccine schedule, highlighting the ongoing necessity due to virus mutations and past infection patterns.
Amid challenges in vaccine uptake, the CDC aims to simplify COVID vaccination schedules to improve protection among older adults and the immunocompromised.
In 2023, only 40% of older adults received the updated COVID vaccine, stressing the importance of communication to enhance willingness for the new doses.
