FDA Switches Strains on COVID-19 Vaccines for This Fall

The FDA initially advised manufacturers that the vaccine for fall 2024 should be monovalent JN.1 vaccines, but after reviewing current data, “along with the recent rise in cases of COVID-19 in areas of the country, the agency has further determined that the preferred JN.1-lineage for the COVID-19 vaccines (2024-2025 Formula) is the KP.2 strain, if feasible.”
