Opinion | Biden is right to end the national emergency for covid-19 2023-01-31T05:00:00Z For high-risk people — namely adults 50 and older and people who are immunocompromised or have an underlying condition — the evidence is straightforward: If you haven’t gotten the bivalent booster, you should. Who should get a COVID booster now? New data offers some clarity. 2023-02-07T05:00:00Z Standardizing vaccine composition for the primary and booster series would probably mean that the bivalent vaccine would become the main formulation for people who haven’t yet had a primary series. Should COVID Vaccines Be Given Yearly? 2023-02-02T05:00:00Z Members of the FDA's advisory committee have been irked in recent months, saying the agency didn't present them with all the data it had on the bivalent vaccine before it was released in September. FDA experts are still puzzled over who should get which COVID shots and when 2023-01-31T05:00:00Z Of course, the public health focus should be getting vulnerable people to receive their first bivalent boosters.

Scientists and regulators chart a course amid uncertainty 2023-01-24T05:00:00Z However, it’s hard to know whether the added benefit of the bivalent booster was because it increased protection against the omicron subvariants or because less time had passed since people got it. Who should get a COVID booster now? New data offers some clarity. 2023-02-07T05:00:00Z That means the updated, bivalent booster would be used for the original two-shot series as well as for the booster — until a new strain is chosen. FDA proposes switching to annual coronavirus vaccine, mimicking flu model 2023-01-23T05:00:00Z Because of a biological phenomenon called imprinting, preliminary research suggests the bivalent vaccine elicits a stronger immune response to the ancestral variant than to the newer variants. F.D.A. Outlines a Plan for Annual Covid Boosters 2023-01-23T05:00:00Z The so-called bivalent booster was about 62 percent effective against severe Covid, the study found, compared with the original booster, which was 25 percent effective.

First real-world data show Omicron booster kept seniors out of hospitals 2023-01-10T05:00:00Z But this doesn't mean that efforts to increase the bivalent booster shot's uptake are doomed — there are some easy ways to improve adherence to guidelines in the short term.

As COVID-19 spikes in California, booster shots could make all the difference 2022-12-03T05:00:00Z The bivalent booster does not squarely aim at the new variants that are emerging, but should provide protection against severe illness and hospitalization, and thus the benefits of the shot outweigh not getting it. Opinion | Three viruses are waging an attack. But you don’t have to surrender. 2022-12-07T05:00:00Z “We have seen very low uptake of the bivalent booster,” Ghaly said recently.
