(Worthy News) – A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel Friday voted unanimously to make COVID-19 vaccine booster shots available to those 18 and older. The CDC also said those older than 50 should get a booster.
The move comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday expanded emergency use authorization for booster shots of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to all U.S. adults.
Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech boosters have been available for some, but now they will be available to anyone who had their second shot at least six months ago. Those who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine had already been encouraged to get a booster. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
