outside experts have met annually since the launch of the first COVID-19 vaccines to discussto stay ahead of the virus. The challenge is trying to gauge how the virus might evolve before fall vaccinations begin.

“We all want to make the perfect choice and that’s probably not possible,” FDA’s Jerry Weir told the panel of outside experts.Some of the panelists voiced support for a switch to a newer coronavirus subtype named LP.8.1. It’s currently the dominant version and part of the same family that circulated last year — known as the JN.1 branch of the virus family tree.“We cannot predict the future, but it seems like LP.8 would be more likely to provide us better coverage,” said Dr. Eric Rubin, a Harvard infectious disease expert and editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Other panelists noted that subtype is such a close relative that last year’s shots seem to offer cross-protection, at least for now but with no guarantee there wouldn’t be a different version circulating by the time a vaccination campaign ramps up in the late summer or early fall. Several advisers noted that people who want to get ahead of a summer surge like the U.S. typically experiences could seek out the current vaccines.Hanging over the meeting was an FDA announcement earlier this week that upended the prior U.S. policy of recommending annual COVID-19 boosters for all Americans ages 6 months and older. Instead, the FDA said routine vaccine approvals will be limited to seniors and younger people with underlying medical risks, pending new research for healthy adults and children.

While that change has big implications for a fall vaccination campaign, FDA leaders repeatedly sidestepped questions from advisers about whether recommending an updated formula would trigger restrictions outlined in the new policy.

“I don’t have an answer today,” said Weir. “I think a lot of this is still under discussion.”Researchers at the University of Oxford

that vegans have 30% of the dietary environmental impact as people who eat high amounts of meat. Vegans produced 25% of greenhouse gas emissions and land use impact, 46% of water use, 27% of water pollution and 34% of the impact on biodiversity than the top meat-eaters.Significantly, even low-meat diets contributed only about 70% of the environmental impact of high-meat diets, wrote Keren Papier, a co-author of the study.

“You don’t have to go full vegan or even vegetarian to make a big difference,” Papier said.Younger people could be key. They may be open to new ways of eating because they’re more aware of climate change and the environmental costs of our current eating patterns, said Dr. Martin Bloem, an environmental health professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
