FDA, CDC Say Fully Vaccinated Do Not Need Booster Shots. Yet.

“We are prepared for booster doses if and when the science demonstrates that they are needed," the federal agencies said.
Americans who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need a booster shot at this point, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a joint statement Thursday. The news comes just hours after reports that Pfizer plans to file for authorization to give people a third shot of its coronavirus vaccine amid the rise in more transmissible coronavirus variants around the country. The company, alongside vaccine co-developer BioNTech, said a third injection could significantly “boost” the antibodies that protect vaccinated people against COVID-19. The FDA and CDC, however, said those who are fully vaccinated are, so far, well protected against COVID-19 and its variants. All of the vaccines available in the U.S. provide significant protection against the coronavirus, including the emerging delta strain.
