Anyone over the age of 18 who hasn't had a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine should "get it now," the group says.
Anyone age 60 or over or immunocompromised should also take their fourth dose now, it says, noting while updated vaccines targeted to newer variants might be available this fall, "it makes sense to get the vaccines you are eligible for now."

The Omicron vaccines don't sound all that much more useful for BA5 at this point, and who knows where we will be in the fall. If it's been a long time since your previous dose, it makes sense to get a booster.
