CDC is set to vote on the new shots Tuesday, but questions remain about costs for uninsured people.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved updated COVID vaccines from Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc., opening the door for the shots to hit the commercial market.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advisory committee on immunizations has scheduled a meeting on Tuesday to discuss and vote on updated COVID vaccine recommendations, with the final decision to be made by CDC director Dr. Mandy Cohen.
The EG.5 variant, known as Eris, is now dominant in the U.S., accounting for more than 21% of new cases in the two weeks ending Sept. 2, according to the CDC. Pfizer and Moderna have said their updated shots appear to be effective against several omicron variants, including EG.5.1 and BA.2.86, known as Pirola, which is being closely tracked because it has a large number of mutations.
