Additional COVID-19 Vaccine Dose Approved for Individuals 65 and Older and
Immunocompromised Individuals
On 2/28/2024, the CDC recommended adults ages 65 years and older to receive an extra updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine from Moderna is available at TCHD.
Previously, the CDC already recommended additional vaccine doses for immunocompromised individuals ages 6 months and older.
An additional dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine may restore protection that has waned since a fall vaccine dose, providing increased protection to adults ages 65 years and older.
Between October and December 2023, over half of COVID-19 hospitalizations were among adults aged 65 and older. Everyone is encouraged to stay current on their COVID-19 vaccines, particularly those with weakened immune systems.
“Today’s recommendation allows older adults to receive an additional dose of this season’s COVID-19 vaccine to provide added protection,” said Mandy Cohen, M.D., M.P.H. “Most COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations last year were among people 65 years and older. An additional vaccine dose can provide added protection that may have decreased over time for those at highest risk.”
