The CDC backed changes to the COVID-19 vaccination schedule on April 19, simplifying recommendations and including a second bivalent booster authorized by the FDA April 18 for senior populations and people who are immunocompromised.
According to published guidelines, people 65 and older can receive the second bivalent booster four months after their last vaccine dose.
For people who are immunocompromised, the second bivalent booster can be received two months after receiving their last vaccine.
Authorization of the monovalent vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer was rescinded by the FDA. This means anyone who is unvaccinated can now receive one dose of the bivalent vaccine.
