(Worthy News) – The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday authorized a second booster shot of the Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines for individuals aged 50 and older.
The shots are designed to work as short-term immunity boosters as the novel virus continues to morph into new and more contagious variants. The shot is also intended to protect against severe illness.
Providers will be given the go-ahead to begin administering the fourth shot once Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky signs off on the measure. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
