WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Food and Drug Administration has approved new COVID boosters designed to protect against the variants currently circulating.
According to NBC News, pharmacies across the country will start offering the shots soon as COVID numbers spike as students head back to school.
The new boosters will be available sooner than the boosters approved the past couple of years due to the highly transmissible variants causing the current COVID surge.
The boosters from Pfizer and Moderna will target KP.2 while the third option, from Novavax, will target JN.1, according to NBC News.
The CDC recommends that anyone over 6 months old get an updated COVID booster and a flu vaccine, especially older adults and other vulnerable adults.
