Drugmaker Moderna asked the FDA on Thursday (March 17) to authorize a fourth shot of its COVID-19 vaccine as a booster dose for all adults.
The request is much broader than Pfizer’s request (https://t.me/COVID19Up/13786) earlier this week for the regulator to approve a booster shot for all seniors.
In a press release, the Moderna said its request for approval for all adults was made “to provide flexibility” to the CDC and medical providers to determine the “appropriate use” of a second booster dose of the mRNA vaccine, “including for those at higher risk of COVID-19 due to age or comorbidities.”
