On January 16, 2022, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) updated its guidance to recommend that people stay up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations in addition to being fully vaccinated. On Friday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said that the agency would continue to increase its emphasis on encouraging those who are eligible to receive booster doses.
Fully vaccinated means two weeks after a person has received the final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized or approved by the FDA.
Up to date means right after a person has received their booster dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine authorized or approved by the FDA.
