Today the external review board for the FDA (called the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee) met to answer two important questions: Is a 3rd Pfizer dose safe? Is a 3rd Pfizer dose effective? The meeting consisted of a number of presentations, including from the CDC, UK, Israel, Pfizer, and FDA. Then this went into a Q&A, discussion, and vote.
I watched the meeting and it seems like in a second vote they recommended a 3rd dose for 65+, at high risk for severe covid, and at high risk of occupational exposure (healthcare workers, etc). Is that accurate?
Thanks for updating your lede line to avoid confusion!
