COVID Vaccines: Updates for Fall 2024

Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax have all received approvals for their latest vaccines, which offer better protection against circulating variants. Dr. Turner recommends these updated versions over older vaccines.

“Yes, anyone over six months should consider the COVID-19 vaccine,” states Dr. Turner. This is especially crucial for those over 65 or with underlying health conditions. Protecting vulnerable populations remains a top priority this fall.
Do I Still Need to Test for COVID?
