WEEKLY REPORT

The figure is a graphic describing how updated COVID-19 vaccines can help save lives. The text reads, “Vaccinated people who received an updated COVID-19 vaccine were 14 times less likely to die compared to those who received no vaccine, and 3 times less likely to die compared with those who received only the original COVID-19 vaccine(s). People ages 12+ who got their last COVID-19 vaccine dose before September 2022 should get an updated vaccine.”
