WASHINGTON (AP) — Fall vaccination season is in full swing, with health officials urging both an updated COVID-19 shot and flu vaccine for most everyone.

But doses for children under 12 still are frustratingly scarce although officials say they’ve started shipping. New this year are vaccines for older adults and women in late pregnancy to guard against another virus named RSV.
