Older Americans Should Get a Covid Booster This Spring, CDC Advisers Say: The agency recommended another round of vaccinations for Americans ages 65 and older.

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.

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.
