The updated COVID-10 shots for fall 2024 are rolling out earlier than last year.
The Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday it has greenlighted updated COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna for the 2024 fall season. The decision clears the way for distribution to begin for the latest version of the shots earlier this year than last year.Moderna and Pfizer's shots were revised this year to target the KP.
That is the result of an earlier CDC vote to recommend the shots over the summer and an earlier FDA selection of the strain to be targeted by the shots, moving it closer to the annual process to update the seasonal flu vaccine.For most people, the CDC recommends getting a flu shot in September or October each year, which can be given at the same time as the COVID-19 vaccines.
