As a summer surge of COVID-19 outbreaks is underway, new vaccines for the virus have been released.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved new COVID-19 vaccines for the 2024-2025 season for people ages 6 months and older. These updated vaccines are designed to better protect against recently circulating variants, helping to prevent serious illness and hospitalization.

"It appears that this virus is going to continue to change as immunity in the population wanes, either after vaccination or prior infection. New strains of this virus will cause outbreaks at different times of the year," says Dr. Matthew Binnicker, director of the Clinical Virology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic.
