, or Eris, do not represent a major shift and updated vaccines in September will offer protection, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday.
"Right now, what we're seeing with the changes in the viruses, they're still susceptible to our vaccine, they're still susceptible to our medicines, they're still picked up by the tests," Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said in an interview on former Biden administration adviser Andy Slavitt's "In the Bubble" podcast. "We're seeing small changes that are what I would call subtypes of what we've seen before.

The vaccines still need to be authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the CDC needs to make its recommendations, she said. "We are likely to see this as a recommendation as an annual COVID shot just like we have an annual flu shot," she said.
