The Food and Drug Administration has granted permission for a second COVID-19 booster shot – a fourth for those already receiving the additional dose.
The authorization is for individuals 50 and older, which health officials said would provide extra protection for the most vulnerable population if infections spike again.
The report noted that there’s “limited evidence to tell how much benefit another booster could offer right now. FDA made the decision without input from its independent panel of experts that has wrestled with how much data is required to expand shots.”
