Moderna seeks FDA authorization for second Covid-19 booster shot for all adults
CNN
Moderna announced Thursday that it's asked the US Food and Drug Administration for authorization for a second Covid-19 booster shot for everyone 18 and older.
Moderna is seeking an amendment of the FDA's emergency use authorization for its Covid-19 vaccine to allow a fourth vaccine dose for any adults who've gotten an initial booster of any of the authorized or approved vaccines.
"The request to include adults over 18 years of age was made to provide flexibility for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and healthcare providers to determine the appropriate use of an additional booster dose of mRNA-1273, including for those at higher risk of COVID-19 due to age or comorbidities," the company said in a news release. "This submission is based in part on recently published data generated in the United States and Israel following the emergence of Omicron."
