Health officials say COVID-19 booster shots may only be approved initially for those who have received the Pfizer vaccine since regulators need more time to review data for the other vaccines.
FDA and CDC leaders said that third shots may only be approved initially for those who have received the Pfizer vaccine since regulators need more time to review data for the other vaccines.
In the coming weeks, the FDA and the CDC may be able to determine whether to recommend a booster for the Pfizer vaccine, they said. But this recommendation won’t be for all COVID-19 vaccines and potentially only for some of the Pfizer vaccine recipients. In mid-August, the Biden administration said booster shots would be offered to Pfizer and Moderna vaccine recipients who received their second shot eight months ago, according. That would include health care workers, nursing home residents, and adults over age 65 who received the first coronavirus vaccine shots. The plan was scheduled to start the week of Sept. 20.
In addition, the FDA only has partial data about booster shots for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines,This week, two of the FDA’s top vaccine regulators announced that they would leave the agency this fall, the newspaper reported, partly due to frustration with the Biden administration’s booster plan. They both said there’s not yet enough data to justify offering extra shots.
