The CDC revised its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine schedule for people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised:
-
At the time of initial vaccination, people ages 6 months+ are recommended to receive 3 bivalent mRNA doses.
-
People ages 6 months+ who previously received only monovalent doses are recommended to receive 1 or 2 bivalent mRNA vaccine doses, depending on age and vaccine product.
-
People who previously received a bivalent mRNA vaccine dose(s) have the option to receive 1 or more additional bivalent mRNA doses.
