US opens virus booster shots to all adults By LAURAN NEERGAARD, MATTHEW PERRONE and MIKE STOBBE Associated Press WASHINGTON — The U.S. on Friday opened COVID-19 booster shots to all adults and took the extra step of urging people 50 and older to seek one, aiming to ward off a winter surge as coronavirus cases rise even before millions of Americans travel for the holidays. Until now, Americans faced a confusing list of who was eligible for a booster that varied by age, their health and which kind of vaccine they got fi rst. The Food and Drug Administra- tion authorized changes to Pfi zer and Moderna boosters to make it easier. Under the new rules, any- one 18 or older can choose either a Pfi zer or Moderna booster six months after their last dose. For any- one who got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vac- cine, the wait already was just two months. And people can mix-and-match boosters from any company. “We heard loud and clear that people needed some- thing simpler — and this, I think, is simple,” FDA vac- cine chief Dr. Peter Marks said. The Centers for Dis- ease Control and Preven- tion had to agree before the new policy became offi - cial late Friday. CDC Direc- tor Dr. Rochelle Walensky endorsed a recommendation from her agency’s scien- tifi c advisers that — in addi- tion to off ering all adults a booster — had stressed that people 50 and older should be urged to get one. “It’s a stronger recom- mendation,” said CDC adviser Dr. Matthew Daley of Kaiser Permanente Col- orado. “I want to make sure we provide as much protec- tion as we can.” The CDC also put out a plea for those who had pre- viously qualifi ed but hadn’t yet signed up for a booster to quit putting it off — saying older Americans and peo- ple with risks such as obe- sity, diabetes or other health problems should try to get one before the holidays. The expansion makes tens of millions more Amer- icans eligible for an extra dose of protection.
