FDA approves additional COVID-19 booster shots for high-risk groups.

The original COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are no longer authorized in the US as the federal government moves toward updated, simpler vaccine guidance. Anyone who hasn’t received a bivalent COVID-19 booster or any coronavirus vaccination at all is now eligible to receive one dose of the updated shot.
