CDC vaccine advisors endorsed giving Pfizer booster shots today for Americans over 65 and long term care facility residents. This comes a day after the FDA approved Pfizer’s booster shots for seniors and other at-risk people

“I suspect, what’s going to happen is we will continue to collect data on this cohort, 65 and over, and other people who are made eligible and eventually the agency may walk down the authorization to younger age cohorts,” said Pfizer Board Member and Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gattlieb. 

CDC data shows the current pace of COVID-19 vaccinations is the slowest it’s been since July.
