The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved and authorized for emergency use updated COVID-19 vaccines formulated to target currently circulating variants and provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death. The action relates to updated mRNA vaccines for 2023-24 manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer.
"Vaccination remains critical to public health and continued protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death," said Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

We very much encourage those who are eligible to consider getting vaccinated."
