CDC Recommends Seniors Receive Additional COVID-19 Shot This Spring

The CDC recommends that adults 65 years and older receive another COVID booster shot this spring to prepare for a potential rise in cases during the summer. This recommendation comes as COVID continues to spread at substantial levels, posing a significant threat to older individuals and those with chronic illnesses. The booster is recommended for those whose last vaccination dose was at least four months ago, and at least three months since their last COVID infection. It is important for high-risk individuals to stay up to date with vaccinations to protect against severe disease, and they should consult with their physician about eligibility for available vaccines.
