FDA advisers vote unanimously to give COVID booster to people 65+ - The Jerusalem Post

A panel of expert outside advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration who Friday overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to administer a third vaccine shot to all people over the age of 16, voted unanimously to administer the booster to people 65 and older and those at high risk of illness.

“The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tonight unanimously recommended giving a booster dose to people over the age of 65 and people at risk, as well as to health care workers - just as we did first,” the Israeli Health Ministry said in a statement.

“In doing so, the FDA validated the third vaccination campaign, which began in Israel and subsequently in Canada, Austria, Germany, France and other countries.”
