BREAKING: FDA authorizes updated versions of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid booster shots.
Both modified boosters target the BA.4 and BA.5 omicron subvariants, in addition to the original coronavirus strain, in a single shot.
The modified boosters have been tested in animal studies, but studies in people have yet to be completed. The concern, some say, is that human studies may find that the new vaccines are no better than the existing shots, potentially decreasing public trust in the nation's vaccine campaign.
