Wale Aliyu is live on Third Avenue right beside the Third Avenue sign.

Yesterday, the FDA amended its emergency use authorization for the Pfizer and Moderna Bivalent vaccines. The CDC has since agreed to those changes.

That means Bivalent COVID vaccines will now be the standard vaccine for fighting current and future strains of the coronavirus.

The changes also allow people ages 65 and older and certain people with weakened immunity to get additional doses before this fall’s vaccination campaign.
