Vaccine for COVID-19
COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)
Two COVID-19 vaccines, duly authorized, have garnered official approval from both the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, these vaccines have received endorsement for administration to individuals aged 6 months and older, and they are readily accessible throughout the nation.
In response to the ongoing surge of Covid-19 cases in specific regions of the United States, these vaccines provide essential protective measures. While there has been a deceleration in the rates of Covid-19 hospitalizations and fatalities over the past year, the virus has undergone multiple mutations, resulting in the emergence of more than two dozen distinct variants. Additionally, the immunity levels of the majority of individuals have gradually waned.
It is worth noting that the prior booster, introduced in the previous autumn 2022, was administered to fewer than 20 percent of the American population. This bivalent vaccine was engineered to provide defense against the original Covid-19 strain and the subsequent Omicron subvariants, particularly BA.4 and BA.5. Despite certain facets of the immune system having enduring recollection, the antibodies responsible for infection prevention experience a noteworthy reduction within a few months.
The reformulated Covid-19 vaccines have been designed to more effectively combat the latest array of subvariants currently in circulation across the United States.
How do the new COVID vaccines differ from previous ones?
Unlike the bivalent shots from last fall, the latest mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are more focused. They're designed to shield you from a single variant: XBB.1.5, which happens to be a new member of the Omicron family, that emerged this year.
