"On Sept. 12, 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended
the newly formulated COVID-19 vaccines for all Americans ages 6 months and up,
hours after its expert advisory committee voted 13 to 1 in favor of
recommending the vaccines.

The CDC’s broad recommendation comes one day after the Food and Drug
Administration approved Moderna’s and Pfizer’s updated mRNA vaccines that
target a previously dominant variant of the omicron family called XBB.1.5. The
updated shots will be available to the public within days.

The Conversation asked Prakash Nagarkatti and Mitzi Nagarkatti, a husband and
wife team of immunologists from the University of South Carolina, to weigh in
on how the new vaccines might stand up against the latest COVID-19 variants
that are swirling across the globe."
