Covid-19 vaccine boosters can begin for some US adults as CDC partially diverges from its advisers'

CNN)Following days of lengthy debate among vaccine experts, booster shots of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine can now be officially administered to some adults in the United States.

Early Friday morning, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky diverged from the agency's independent vaccine advisers to recommend boosters for a broader group of people -- those ages 18 to 64 who are at increased risk of Covid-19 because of their workplaces or institutional settings -- in addition to older adults, long-term care facility residents and some people with underlying health conditions.

1. I had Moderna, which should take about

another month to get its 3rd shot approval. I had my doctor toss in a Covid antibody test with my regular annual blood work and it came back that I have antibodies. I never had Covid, to my knowledge.

2. Great that you have antibodies!

I was stunned when CDC came back and said “no” to HCW and teachers. Glad to read this today.

3. CVS only has immune compromised on their website

Guess they will update it soon.
