Leading US Medical Groups Issue Updated Flu and COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations

Major U.S. medical organizations are urging updated flu and COVID-19 vaccinations this fall to clarify guidelines. Recommendations include COVID-19 shots for all children aged 6 months to 23 months and older high-risk children, with adults 65 and older advised to receive a fall dose followed by a second six months later. Flu vaccination is broadly recommended for individuals aged 6 months and older, particularly for high-risk populations.
