The companies that make COVID-19 vaccines should update the shots again to target a variant closer to the strains currently on the rise, a committee of independent advisers to the Food and Drug Administration unanimously recommended Thursday.<\/p>\n

Moderna, Pfizer\/BioNTech and Novavax should target strains related to the JN.1 variant <\/a>with their vaccines for next fall and winter because that strain is closer to the new variants of the virus that are circulating, the advisers voted after a day-long meeting.<\/p>\n
