Health Matters.

The article from TIME Magazine discusses the importance of receiving additional COVID-19 vaccine doses for certain groups, such as older adults and those with weakened immune systems. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends two updated COVID-19 vaccines, spaced six months apart, to provide continued protection. Health experts emphasize the need for these additional doses to reduce the risk of hospitalizations and severe illness, especially as new variants continue to circulate. While the vaccines may not prevent all infections, they have been effective in reducing hospitalizations and deaths, with additional doses offering further protection for vulnerable populations.
