CDC Recommends Updated Vaccines for Fall 2024

New guidance includes COVID-19, flu, and RSV shots to protect against seasonal respiratory illnesses.

Updated COVID-19 vaccines will target the KP.2 variant and are recommended for everyone 6 months and older.
The flu vaccine has been revised to include three strains instead of four, with universal recommendations for those 6 months and older.
People aged 75 and older are strongly advised to get the RSV vaccine, while those 60-74 should consult their doctors.
The CDC emphasizes the importance of vaccinations for those at higher risk, including older adults and immunocompromised individuals.
Despite the rise in summer COVID-19 cases, the overall urgency for vaccinations has decreased due to widespread immunity.
