Biden health officials discussing expanding COVID booster eligiblity
Biden administration health officials on Tuesday said they are discussing authorizing a second COVID-19 booster shot for all adults, but downplayed any imminent recommendations.
“Those conversations have been going on for a while,” White House coronavirus coordinator Ashish Jha said Tuesday in a press briefing. Jha added, however, that the ultimate decision rests with the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“I know that the FDA is considering this, looking at it. And I know CDC scientists are thinking about this and looking at the data as well. The decision is purely up to them,” Jha said.
The Washington Post first reported on Monday that the administration is working on a plan to expand booster eligibility to all adults.
