I'm starting to see and hear quite a bit for this fall's covid and flu recommendations. Flu appears to be ready on a similar schedule as in years past, but everything I've seen w COVID still appears date of availability TBA but everyone 6-months and older still need a booster. I have preferred (to date) to get the shots at the same time, not just for me and my husband, but for our twin almost two year olds. Is this still the go-to recommendation for this year's boosters, and/or does anyone have stronger insights on when this fall's COVID shots might be ready exactly?

We'd love to get to know you better. Take a moment to say hi to the community in the comments.
