A booster shot of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine has been recommended for seniors and certain high-risk people by an FDA advisory panel. A decision by the agency could come within days.

Moderna has asked the FDA to authorize a booster that is half the dosage of the first two vaccine doses, and is taken at least six months after the second dose. The panel also began to debate whether to make booster doses more widely available beyond the categories currently authorized, which include seniors and adults at high risk because of medical conditions or where they work.
