COVID boosters ‘safe and effective’ 3 months after last shot — EU regulator

The European Medicines Agency says it is “safe and effective” to issue booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines as soon as three months after the initial course, down from the previous guidance of six months.

“The data currently available support safe and effective administration of a booster as early as three months from completion of the primary vaccination, should such a short interval be desirable from a public health perspective,” EMA vaccine strategy chief Marco Cavaleri says.
