The CDC recommended a spring COVID-19 vaccine booster for adults aged 65 and older, citing the need for added protection against the virus. This recommendation was made by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and was approved in a vote of 11 to 1. The CDC also recommended the world’s first chikungunya vaccine for certain groups of people, including travelers to regions with outbreaks. The ACIP emphasized the importance of increasing vaccine coverage among older adults to improve public health outcomes. Additionally, the timing of a spring booster was discussed in relation to potential new vaccine formulas in the fall.
