This group includes people with advanced H.I.V. infection and those undergoing chemotherapy or receiving some therapies for autoimmune conditions, said Dr. Donald Dumford, an infectious disease doctor at the Cleveland Clinic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The move makes it easier for those most at risk for dying or becoming very sick from Covid to get additional protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf the person is willing to get it, great \u2014 we now have the green light to give it to them, in no uncertain terms,\u201d said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Not everyone, of course, will be willing: Covid vaccine uptake has remained stubbornly low over the last few years. As of Oct. 12, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/covidvaxview\/weekly-dashboard\/?CDC_AAref_Val=https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/imz-managers\/coverage\/covidvaxview\/interactive\/vaccination-dashboard.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">only around 12 percent<\/a> of adults reported receiving an updated vaccine, according to data from the C.D.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The vaccines are well matched against the variants that are currently circulating, offering some defense against infection and curbing a person\u2019s risk of hospitalization or death from the virus. Vaccines also reduce a person\u2019s chances of developing long Covid. But immunity wanes over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s just a greater need than ever to have a more durable strategy, vaccination-wise,\u201d said Dr. Marc Sala, co-director of the Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive Covid-19 Center in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Covid poses a particular challenge because the virus spreads year-round, spiking in unpredictable waves; it\u2019s difficult to sustain protection, especially among people with compromised immune systems. The C.D.C.\u2019s new recommendations signal a shift in how the medical community thinks about vaccinations, Dr. Schaffner said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is not a way we usually give vaccines,\u201d he said.
