A new 2023-2024 formulation of the adjuvanted protein subunit COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by Novavax that was developed to more closely target currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants has been made available in the US under an FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use in persons ≥12 years old. The original formulation of the Novavax vaccine is no longer authorized for use in the US. In September, updated formulations of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Pfizer/BioNTech (Comirnaty) and Moderna (Spikevax) were licensed by the FDA for use in persons ≥12 years old and made available under EUAs for use in persons 6 months to 11 years old.

Influenza is generally a self-limited illness, but pneumonia, respiratory failure, and death can occur, especially in patients at increased risk for influenza complications (see Table 1). Antiviral drugs recommended for treatment and chemoprophylaxis of influenza for the 2023-2024 season are listed in Table 2. Updated information on influenza activity and antiviral resistance is available from the CDC at www.cdc.gov/flu.

The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin (Jardiance – Boehringer Ingelheim/Lilly) is now FDA-approved to reduce the risk of sustained eGFR decline, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at risk of progression. It is also approved to improve glycemic control in patients ≥10 years old with type 2 diabetes, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in adults with HF, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.
