Pfizer Seeks OK Of Updated COVID Vaccine Booster For Fall

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Pfizer asked U.S. regulators Monday to authorize its combination COVID-19 vaccine that adds protection against the newest omicron relatives — a key step toward opening a fall booster campaign. Pfizer and its partner BioNTech aim to offer updated boosters to people 12 and older, and shots could begin within weeks if the FDA quickly clears the modified vaccine — a step not expected to require waiting on new studies. The news comes after Britain a week ago became the first in the world to authorize a different update to Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines ― shots that add protection against the original omicron that struck last winter. The U.S. opted not to use that earlier tweak ― setting up a fall where different countries will be using different versions of booster shots to rev up protection against another possible winter surge.
