CDC endorses second updated COVID jab for seniors, immunocompromised
Peter Hansen         

The CDC has recommended that those 65 and older and immunocompromised individuals be permitted to get a second dose of the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine.
The agency is also recommending that anyone six years of age and older get one dose of the updated vaccine, even if they have completed the primary series of shots with the monovalent vaccine.
The original, monovalent jabs are no longer recommended.
The recommended bivalent vaccines are the mRNA ones produced by Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE)/BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX).
The CDC's action comes after the US FDA Monday authorized the second bivalent shot for the two demographics.
