EU regulator okays Pfizer vaccine booster for ages 18 and up
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe European Union’s drug regulator gives its backing to booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for people 18 and older.
The European Medicines Agency says the booster doses “may be considered at least 6 months after the second dose for people aged 18 years and older.”
The agency also says it supports giving a third dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna vaccine to people with severely weakened immune systems at least 28 days after their second shot.
The recommendations go to health authorities in all 27 EU member states. Some countries already have begun administering booster shots.
