Not enough data to support multiple annual COVID boosters, CDC advisers say MedTwitter
- There is not sufficient evidence to recommend more than one COVID-19 booster shot a year for older people and those with weakened immune systems, an expert advisory group to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday.
The agency currently recommends older and immunocompromised people receive COVID booster shots more frequently since vaccine effectiveness usually wanes faster for those populations compared to younger people with robust immune systems. The CDC advisers did not vote on new recommendations for how the COVID-19 shots should be administered on Friday.
Both the CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are working on how to best update COVID vaccines to target circulating variants annually, similar to flu vaccine campaigns.
