A vocal contingent of prominent doctors and scientists is pressing the Biden administration to scrap its plans to provide booster shots to all previously vaccinated adults, according to five people familiar with the matter
.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services said the administration "regularly engage[s] outside stakeholders from the medical community with a broad array of viewpoints for their feedback" on the administration's pandemic policies.
The discussions have taken place amid ongoing tensions between scientists at the CDC and FDA and other federal officials working on the Covid-19 response about the administration’s public messaging on vaccine efficacy and boosters, given the gaps in available data. Fauci’s remarks drew disagreement on the call, the five people familiar with the matter said. Several participants were left mystified about the goal of the government’s vaccination campaign.
The dichotomy between the Biden team’s boosters-for-all philosophy and the targeted use endorsed by the health agencies and their independent advisory panels has frustrated some of the nation’s leading doctors.
