When you're deciding whether to get a vaccine, you want to know what the experts say. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices—the group that advises the CDC on vaccines—has issued a formal recommendation for adults 18 and older to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in the United States. This means the committee reviewed the available evidence and concluded the vaccine should be used. The announcement is about the committee's official guidance, not about reporting results from a new clinical trial that tested the vaccine in people. We don't have details from this announcement about how many people were involved, what specific outcomes were looked at, or any new safety signals. The core message is that this expert panel has given its stamp of approval for doctors to use this vaccine in adults.

What this means for you:
CDC vaccine advisors formally recommend the Moderna COVID-19 shot for adults.
