"CDC is now recommending updated COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 6 months and older to better protect you and your loved ones," CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said in a release after signing off on the panel's recommendations.

"With the recent surge in cases and projected surges this fall, now is the time to get your vaccines," she added.Shots from Pfizer and Moderna can begin shipping out this week following the FDA's authorizations and approvals for the revised mRNA vaccines.
