The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on April 19 that older people and people with weakened immune systems may obtain additional doses of the updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines.

The change comes as part of the CDC’s efforts to simplify its COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. The agency said the move also gives people at higher risk of COVID-19 the option of taking additional vaccine doses.
