🎨: @jeniak.bsky.social Recently, I have been getting a fair amount of questions regarding updated vaccines, timing, and current circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains so I figured an UPDATED thread would be helpful!

•The Food and Drug Administration approved updated Covid vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, putting the shots on track to reach most Americans in the coming days as the virus surges.

•The jabs target a strain called KP.2, a descendant of the highly contagious omicron subvariant JN.1 that began circulating widely in the U.S. earlier this year.

•The CDC recommended that everyone over 6 months old receive an updated Covid vaccine this year.

Question! I got the previous booster in June, how long do I wait before the new one?

Sorry for more Qs but: I got a booster in July ahead of a big event/convention, should I get this one ASAP or wait until year-end?

The FDA has approved and authorized UPDATED mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines. Novavax is still pending. The shots are formulated to target the "FLiRT" variants. KP.3 was identified this spring and has become the top variant since. This variant is part of the “FLiRT” family
