FDA authorizes 2nd COVID-19 vaccine booster shot for Americans over 50
She is expected to announce that fourth shots should be made available to anyone over 50 who wants one, but not outright recommend it, leaving the decision up to individuals and their doctors.
Next week, the FDA will convene a panel of vaccine experts to discuss the plan for the broader population. The experts will talk about the efficacy of booster shots and the potential need for a variant-specific booster, as opposed to continual booster shots designed for the initial strain of COVID-19.
