Start planning your 2024 vaccine schedule By Haley Weiss Health Reporter The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has unveiled its finalized 2024 vaccination schedules for children and adults, which include a few new shots. Among the recommendations: the latest COVID-19 vaccine, which is essential given the surge in cases nationwide. Here are some of the other CDC-recommended vaccines. Abrysvo and Arexvy: These new vaccines, manufactured by Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline respectively, can protect certain at-risk patients from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Both are approved for people over 60; for expectant mothers, Abrysvo can prevent RSV infection in newborns if administered to expectant mothers at the end of pregnancy.
