The U.S. Federal Drug and Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently approved updated vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna that include protection against the latest COVID-19 variants that are currently circulating.

The brand availability will vary by location.

“Vaccination is especially important as we head into the fall and winter when COVID and other respiratory diseases typically increase across the country,” the news release said. “COVID and flu vaccines can be given at the same time.
