Pfizer says COVID-19 vaccine booster dose effective, safe
Fox News
Pfizer and BioNTech said a booster or third dose of its COVID-19 vaccine is safe and elicits an antibody response at levels that “significantly exceed” those seen in individuals who receive two doses of the jab.
The announcement comes just days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voted to recommend COVID-19 booster shots for certain immunocompromised patients. The FDA had already expanded emergency use of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines to authorize a booster shot for this populationMore Related News
