“… US News reports: Biden Administration is developing a plan to start offering coronavirus booster shots to some Americans as early as this fall (possibly starting in October). The first boosters are likely to go to nursing home residents and health care workers, followed by other older people who were near the front of the line when vaccinations began late last year.…”

Hopefully they will use the Moderna vaccine given the fall off in efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine with the arrival of the Delta variant. And why the hell are they waiting til October; it’s not like there’s a shortage of vaccine in stock. And, of course, they will absolutely need to make sure this is strictly voluntary.
Hopefully Moderna and Pfizer will have a full BLA and immediately issue an addendum for a Delta-specific shot by then. That would be far more effective than simply giving another dose of the existing vaccines, which were developed against the wild type SARS-CoV-2 virus back in February 2020.
