.@US_FDA made right decision. Bivalent #CovidVaccine was significantly more effective at protecting against severe illness, hospitalization, & death from Covid than the monovalent vaccine that was previously used. Negates chasing variants criticism.

[ASM @ASMicrobiology]

For decades, Dr. Anthony Fauci has led with science to fight infectious disease. His leadership during the pandemic saved countless lives, & his commitment to evidence-based science is a key reason why public policies have been able to protect public health. ASM stands w/ Fauci.
