COVID shots updated: Who gets them and when?
Doctors are updating COVID-19 vaccines for the 2025-2026 season. This is crucial for continued protection against the virus. These vaccines target newer variants.
But many people are still missing out — what few know.
Preventive health care is key. This includes getting flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Experts say these shots are important.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends updated vaccines. They are for everyone six months and older. Shots are available at many places. This includes pharmacies and doctor's offices.
One source states that about 42% of children under five received a flu shot. This was during the 2022-2023 season. We don't have this number yet for COVID-19 vaccines. This highlights a gap in protection.
Changes have been made to how flu and COVID-19 vaccines are given out. This aims to make them easier to get. Keeping up with these updates is vital. We will see how widely these shots are adopted.
