Today the external review board for the FDA (called the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee) met to answer two important questions:
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?
You may have answered my question. Was there any discussion on third doses for healthcare workers? Having an unvaccinated 11 year old with auto-immune disease and being coughed on by unvaccinated Covid patients for 13 hours straight makes me really nervous 8 months post second vaccine. 😭. I’m trying to rally my hope right now.
Thank you! For some reason it hasn’t hit my email yet so I had to go looking for it. A little bit of sense of relief for me. Still holding my breath until it’s official.
Thanks for updating your lede line to avoid confusion!
