The CDC recommends booster doses of Pfizer's and Moderna's Covid vaccines for adults
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky endorsed the use of Covid-19 vaccine boosters Friday for all adults.
Walensky made her recommendation just hours after CDC vaccine advisers voted unanimously to recommend booster doses of Pfizer/BioNTech's and Moderna's Covid-19 vaccines for all US adults six months after they finish their first two doses.The recommendations simplify previous, complicated guidance for boosters.Earlier Friday, the US Food and Drug Administration authorized boosters of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines for everyone 18 and older.
"I think we're at the point now where for lots of people who were vaccinated last winter and spring, now would be the time that their protection is waning," she said.Once people do receive their Covid-19 vaccine booster shots, it's not clear when they might need another vaccine dose -- if ever."That certainly is the million-dollar question. We know that the boosters boost people's immunity back up to that 90% to 95% range in the short term.
