Top health officials in the US are making plans for a new updated Covid vaccine to be rolled out this winter.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealed Monday it is holding a public meeting in May to discuss whether updates to the current crop of vaccines is necessary — and which variant should be included in next winter’s dose.
Currently, the most common strain is JN.1 that is not targeted by the previous booster which inoculated against XBB.1.5 — though there is still some cross-over protection.
