CDC has updated the Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines in the United States (www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html) with guidance for use of the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccines.
People ages 65 years and older, vaccinated under the routine schedule, are recommended to receive 2 doses of any 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine (i.e., Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer-BioNTech) separated by 6 months (minimum interval 2 months) regardless of vaccination history, with one exception: Unvaccinated people who initiate vaccination with 2024–2025 Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine are recommended to receive 2 doses of Novavax followed by a third dose of any COVID-19 vaccine 6 months (minimum interval 2 months) later.
People ages 6 months and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised are recommended to receive:
Unvaccinated: A multidose initial series with an age-appropriate COVID-19 vaccine and 1 dose 6 months (minimum interval 2 months) after completion of the initial series; may receive additional doses under shared clinical decision making
Previously completed the multidose initial series: 2 age-appropriate doses of 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine 6 months (minimum interval 2 months) apart; may receive additional doses under shared clinical decision making

The CDC now recommends that everyone get the COVID-19 vaccine at least once a year to boost immunity and lower the risk of serious illness. If you’re 65 or older or have a weakened immune system, you may need two doses a year (every 6 months) for stronger protection. Staying up-to-date with your vaccine helps reduce the chances of serious problems from COVID-19 and even lowers the risk of Long COVID. Talk to your doctor if you have questions, and let’s all do our part to stay healthy! Read more: www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/s1023-covid-19-vaccine.html.
