The United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released updated vaccination guidelines for children and adults to help protect against serious diseases, including COVID-19. The new protocols specify the types of vaccines to administer and the recommended timing.
For COVID-19, unvaccinated individuals should receive initial vaccine doses, while those previously vaccinated are advised to get the 2024-2025 booster at least eight weeks after their last dose. Adolescents aged 12 to 17 are recommended to receive vaccines to protect against current virus strains, reports TOI.
