The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging certain people to get additional doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for stronger protection against the virus.
In its latest guidance, released Wednesday, the CDC recommends that adults aged 65 and older, as well as individuals with weakened immune systems, receive a second dose of the updated vaccine six months after their last shot. People who are immunocompromised may require even more doses, depending on their personal health and doctor’s advice.
