Unvaccinated children ages 6 months through 5 years of age may receive a two-dose series of the Moderna vaccine or a three-dose series of the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent vaccine (although that one is aimed at children 6 months to age 4).Here's how it breaks down for young children: The FDA's moves also aim to simplify the vaccine regimen, now that the vast majority of Americans have had at least one shot or infection, or likely both.īecause they have likely been infected already, anyone who has not yet been vaccinated can now get one shot, rather than three, to be considered protected, the FDA said.

Novavax prepping COVID booster for this fall In June, an FDA advisory committee will meet to discuss which variants COVID vaccines should address this fall, an approach typically used for flu vaccines. The XBB variants are descendants of the original omicron variant, which swept across the world in late 2021 and early 2022. XBB.1.5 remains the dominant variant in the U.S., as it has been since January, though it's prevalence is beginning to slip slightly, replaced by other XBB variants. None of those remains in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but protection against them seems to cover the known variants.

Latest research: mRNA vaccines used for COVID are showing promise against cancer But for people whose protection is already limited by age or immune status, every infection could be dangerous, which is why the FDA wants them to have access to more frequent shots.
