CDC backs expansion of COVID boosters for all adults

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is recommending COVID-19 vaccine boosters for all adults. The announcement came just hours after a vaccine advisory committee voted unanimously to expand Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine boosters to everyone 18 and older.

Last week Friday, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted in support of a change to COVID-19 vaccination policy that says people 50 and older should get a booster if they had a primary immunization with an mRNA vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) at least six months before. The recommendation also applies to people 18 and older in long-term care settings. 

For people at least 18 and younger than 50, the panel supported a policy that recommends they receive a booster based on their individual risks and benefits.

If you have any questions regarding your booster, or if you haven’t gotten your COVID-19 vaccination yet, please call our friendly staff at (808) 293-9231 to set up an appointment today.
