On Aug. 28, the FDA approved the monovalent 2026-2027 COVID vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, and Novavax-Sanofi, the Associated Press reported.
“The new shots will cover what’s anticipated to be circulating this fall and winter,” says Schaffner.
The new COVID shots are expected to be rolled out at pharmacies, clinics and hospitals in September, experts say.
