FDA VRBPAC Meeting: Vaccine Targeting Lineage JN.1 for Fall 2024

I didn’t get a chance to watch the June 5th FDA advisory committee meeting on the new vaccine formulation for Covid-19 for this fall. There is a nice summary on the Minnesota CIDRAP (Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy).

The committee unanimously upvoted the selection of the JN.1 lineage strain (which includes JN.1, KP.2 etc) for Covid vaccines this fall in the U.S.

As usual, Director Dr. Jerry Weir’s slides (summary slides 22-26) provide excellent background and clear discussion.
