Pfizer may soon seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration emergency authorization of its COVID-19 booster shot for anyone aged 18 and older.
Officials familiar with the situation told the
Washington Post that the request could be filed as soon as this week and is likely to be supported by the FDA, according to the three insiders who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue.
If approval is given, it would fulfill the Biden administration's plan to provide boosters for all adults and could increase booster rates at a critical point in the pandemic, the
Post reported. Health officials have also said Americans can "mix-and-match" booster shots to increase antibodies to fight the coronavirus.
People can get any one of the three booster doses, regardless of which shot they received first.
Comment: Creating crappy memes and turning off the option to reply doesn't suddenly engender the trust in Big Pharma 'science' that Pfizer thinks it does.
