COVID-19 vaccine booster shots are expected to be available for American adults starting late September – with health care workers, nursing home residents and other elderly people first in line, health officials said.
The plan laid out Wednesday by the Biden administration calls for a third dose of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine eight months after the second jab pending an independent evaluation by the Food and Drug Administration.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants to roll out the booster shot program the week of Sept. 20, said Director Rochelle Walensky — while citing new data showing a decrease in vaccine effectiveness over time against mild and moderate infections.
