Extra vaccines should be available to the immunocompromised in the next few days, with a question added about immune status before all vaccinations.

People with suppressed immune systems may not have gotten adequate protection from initial doses of COVID vaccine and may need a booster, FDA says.

The findings raise questions about the coronavirus vaccines’ protection and suggest that even vaccinated people could experience long-term symptoms.

COVID-19 may not be as deadly in this new wave, because older people are largely vaccinated and younger people are less likely to die.

Vaccine companies are studying the effectiveness of a third COVID-19 shot, known as a booster. Here’s what you need to know.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and other experts say people vaccinated against COVID are protected, but local officials may decide masks are needed.

For those with compromised immune systems, health experts say ‘get vaccinated, act unvaccinated,’ as vaccines may not protect well against COVID-19.

In the new study, Harvard researchers who developed the J&J COVID-19 vaccine found it protected against severe disease regardless of the variant.
