People aged 65 and older are advised to get an additional COVID shot this spring by the CDC. The recommended booster dose corresponds to the latest version of Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Novavax vaccines and is meant for older adults at least four months after a previous dose. People with compromised immune systems may need extra shots. Vaccination significantly reduces the likelihood of COVID-19 hospitalization in older adults. The CDC anticipates another potential surge in illnesses during the upcoming summer and recommends older adults to take another round of the vaccine. Around 22% of adults in the US have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine.
