CDC advisers back expansion of COVID boosters for all adults
A panel of experts advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention backed the expansion of Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine boosters to all adults.
The experts met Friday afternoon just hours after the Food and Drug Administration .
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted in support of a change to COVID-19 vaccination policy that says people 50 and older should get a booster if they had a primary immunization with an mRNA vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) at least six months before. The recommendation also applies people 18 and older in long-term care settings.
