BREAKING: The FDA has authorized booster doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for everyone 18 and older who is already considered fully vaccinated.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday authorized booster doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for everyone 18 and older who is already considered fully vaccinated, teeing up many Americans to gain extra protection ahead of a possible winter surge in cases.
Currently, only those 65 and older and people who are at high-risk of contracting the virus, either because of their job, where they live, or underlying conditions, are eligible for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna boosters six months after their second shot. Everyone 18 and older who received Johnson & Johnson's one-dose COVID-19 vaccine is eligible for a booster two months after getting their initial shot.
