The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized Americans who are 50 years and older to receive a second booster of the COVID-19 vaccine from either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna.
The authorization makes millions more Americans eligible for a fourth dose. Currently, the U.S. urges two primary shots followed months later by a booster dose for everyone age 12 and older.
The second booster approved Tuesday for those 50 and up should be administered at least four months after the previous booster, the FDA said.
A fourth dose had only been recommended for people with severely weakened immune systems, who need three doses to begin with for the best chance at any protection. The agency said this especially fragile group also can get an additional booster, a fifth shot.
Hours later, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the extra shot as an option but stopped short of urging that those eligible rush out and get it right away.
Numerous scientific studies have proven that booster doses of authorized vaccines help restore waning immunity and protect against serious COVID-19. Booster programs in countries including Britain, Canada and the U.S. have been credited with preventing the surge in omicron infections from spilling over into hospitals and cemeteries.
In March, Pfizer and its partner BioNTech asked U.S. regulators to authorize a second booster dose of their COVID-19 vaccine for older adults, saying data from Israel suggested the demographic would benefit. Drugmaker Moderna also asked to authorize a fourth shot of its COVID-19 vaccine as a booster dose for all adults…

To all you triple vaxxed, mask wearing sheep:
I’m still, and will remain, pureblood. I won’t even let you smell my farts.
And you, or someone you love, will be sick, disabled, or dead because of these experimental injections that you gleefully took and fired, jailed, kept out of school, & blocked my travel in your zeal to force that poison into my veins. You got exactly what you should’ve in slavish obedience to the commie gods.
YOU were the guinea pigs!
Exactly. If your Dr cajoled you into taking the jab - RUN! He/she/attack helicopter abandoned the Hippocratic oath for bonus checks.
They get to stay alive, not the peasants.
Oh my..... how would I live my life without the approval of some bureaucratic agency.
I haven’t been to a doctors office in ages but go for dental checkups every 3 months or so. It is totally ridiculous these days. It is like going to a restaurant. You wear the mask for about 30 seconds while entering the office and another minute or so while paying. The other 45 minutes I am not a potential super spreader.
Pay attention, I’m objecting to the term “Jab”.
= = =
Yes, it is incorrect.
The term now should be Jab-Jab-Jab.
Soon to be Jab-jab-Jab-jab.
Why would we want to take booster when all they do is facilitate an infection. Sheesh! Look at Jen Psaki. Fully vaxxed and boosted and has had Covid twice in a little over 2 months.
63 and got the JNJ shot. No boosters. So you’re 1 up on me.
Gimme, gimme, gimme...
I need, I need, I need....
I’m way past 50, I simply refuse. So does my wife.
It makes me ill just thinking the price that some will pay to ago along with these sniveling freaks running this circus.
I do not believe any of the statistics. None of them.
Have not from the first. All lies and propaganda.
Agree. Am 74. It is not about public health. It is not about age. It is about the agenda.

Just say ‘no’ to facts?
Did you believe the media when they told you the ‘facts’ about Trump’s Russia collusion?
“Figures never Lie, but Liars Figure”
They lied to us from the first day and are still trying to hang on the LIE.

Why is that relevant?
Because you dissed someone for not believing the ‘facts’ that THE MEDIA are telling us about covid.
You don’t see the relevance?

Do you believe that nothing the media tells you is the truth?
