Moderna and Pfizer said updated mRNA shots will be available in the next few days.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended in June that everyone over six months receive both an updated COVID-19 vaccine and a flu shot this year.

The FDA said Thursday that people five and older are eligible to receive an updated Pfizer or Moderna Covid-19 vaccine as long as it has been at least two months since their last dose.

Unvaccinated people aged six months through four years can receive three doses of the updated Pfizer vaccine or two doses of the updated Moderna vaccine. Learn more about the fall 2024 COVID-19 shots from the FDA.
