The Food and Drug Administration cleared updated Covid-19 shots, which should protect against the latest versions of the virus now circulating—if people get them.
The vaccines, one from Pfizer and its partner BioNTech and another from Moderna, were greenlighted by the health agency on Monday for adults and children 6 months and older.
The doses should be available at pharmacies, doctor’s offices and other vaccination sites within a few days, if not sooner, after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the shots as early as Tuesday.
