The FDA says the Covid vaccine will probably be like the flu shot, and you might need to get one every year.
— The United States might need to update its Covid-19 vaccines each year, according to a trio of top US Food and Drug Administration officials, and “a new normal” may include an annual Covid-19 vaccine alongside a seasonal flu shot.
June could be when FDA officials make a decision on the composition of Covid-19 vaccines for the fall and winter seasons — and what the vaccination plans might be. “In terms of practical considerations, at the recent meeting of the VRBPAC, there was relatively uniform agreement that a single vaccine composition used by all manufacturers was desirable and that data would be needed to inform and drive the selection of a monovalent, bivalent, or multivalent COVID-19 vaccine,” Marks, Woodcock and Califf wrote.
