Updated COVID Vaccines Now Available | Raleigh News

About this episode

FDA just approved updated COVID-19 vaccines targeting the dominant XFG strain — a blend of two Omicron subvariants. Moderna, Pfizer, and Sanofi now offer new shots, with eligibility varying by age and health status. These vaccines focus on preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and ICU stays. Doctors urge getting them alongside flu or RSV shots if eligible — don’t delay. Vaccines should be widely available soon, though cost may be a concern for uninsured individuals, as the free program ended last August. Even if you’ve had prior infections or shots, immunity fades — these updates boost protection, especially for older adults, immunocompromised, pregnant people, and young children.
