Older adults should get another COVID shot this spring, CDC says
Quick Glance: Why Older Adults Require an Additional COVID-19 Vaccine
  • According to new guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older adults should receive the COVID-19 vaccine more frequently than previously recommended. Individuals aged 65 and older are urged to get another vaccine dose in the spring or at least four months after their last dose.

  • The decision is based on data presented by CDC scientists showing current high hospitalization rates for COVID-19 among seniors, with the biggest spikes occurring in those aged 75 and older. A significant portion of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are among people over 65 years old.
