U.S. approves updated COVID vaccines for fall

The new approvals relate to updated vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer that correspond to an Omicron sublineage.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that the benefits of receiving the shots outweighs the risk for those aged six months and up.
