Updated COVID-19 vaccines to be available in Mississippi next week
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have approved updated COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which will be widely available in Mississippi next week. The CDC recommends everyone six months and older get an updated vaccine to protect against the potentially serious outcomes of COVID-19 during the fall and winter. The CDC states that the virus is always changing and that protection from vaccines declines over time. Getting an updated vaccine can restore protection and provide enhanced defense against the variants responsible for most infections and hospitalizations. Hospitalizations are lower in those who received updated vaccines. Vaccinations and boosters are available at local pharmacies and healthcare providers in Mississippi, as well as at Mississippi State Department of Health clinics at no cost.
