CNN — U.S. health officials have been in active discussions with the Food and Drug Administration on whether the agency will authorize a second booster vaccine for Americans under 50 years old, the nation's top infectious disease expert shared Saturday.
"Hopefully we'll get an answer reasonably soon," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Laura Coates.
Advertisement Second boosters have been authorized for U.S. adults 50 and up, as well as certain people with weakened immune systems, since March. But for anyone under the age of 50, only one booster is authorized.
Fauci's comments come amid a worrisome time in the pandemic for many across the country. Daily COVID-19 case rates have surged again and hospitalizations and deaths are also up, fueled by the omicron offshoot BA.5, which experts have said is the most contagious variant yet.
Last week, the subvariant caused almost two out of every three new COVID-19 infections in the U.S., according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky recently said while experts don't yet know much about the severity of the variant, "we do know it to be more transmissible and more immune-evading."
"People with prior infection, even with BA.1 and BA.2, are likely still at risk for BA.4 or BA.5," she said.
Earlier this week, the White House COVID-19 response team urged Americans who were over 50 to get a second vaccine booster but had less to offer Americans under that age range, saying the FDA is considering second boosters for that age group.

Is it possible the jab is making homo sapiens dumber? Look around, observe, and you will find proof everywhere. We know the vax was engineered to pass the blood/brain barrier, so why couldn’t it have been designed to damage the brain’s cognition and reasoning skills? Now that the jab has damaged the immune system they believe that another jab is needed. Go figure. Unfortunately, it you are living in a nursing home, you are screwed.
Yep. He has cried wolf way too many times. And he has been hypocritical way too many times. Even if he is 100% correct from now on in, few folks are going to believe him. He really should be put out to pasture.
I wonder if Doc Adams is available as a replacement. He seems trustworthy.
“ What pansies are seriously worried?”
The ones I see wearing masks in stores where none are required or outside walking alone????

Is government shutting down all substances that stop Covid-19 side affects?
The ones with Ukraine flags on their social media.
“we do know it to be more transmissible and more immune-evading.”
We don’t know much... the only thing we really know is that:
!!YOU ALL SHOULD BE SCARED OF IT!!
Without question, US death counts are increasing. There is no evidence of a sharp spike upwards, as is now clear in Italy, but the daily Covid death count is definitely increasing.
I have seen no evidence that the young are more vulnerable now than before — meaning, nearly not at all. But they remain superspreaders if they take no mitigation measures and 3 or so links down the chain they will kill an old American.
This is not the old person’s fault. It is not the young person’s fault. It is the virus’ fault and the government’s fault — for having over 2 years to address this devastation that has taken 1.8 years Life Expectancy off of ALL Americans. What have they done about that?
Their reply, we’ve done a lot, but our best still chops 1.8 yrs off of society’s lifetime and we can’t seem to do better.
If you want to address the problem — that is, not die, or be an irresponsible murderer, stay away from people. There is zero alternative this. Get away from people. Gov’t has given us no other answer.

Alien transmissions?
I'll pass.
Hmm. I’ve got an answer...
My face is not even close to being enormous enough to receive the palm that this evokes.
Never got the first shot.
Do not intend to.
Oh, pleez. You can wait for them to open the envelope, but the answer is “Yes.”
(vaxx salesman says we need more vaxx)
Repeat often.
There are some who still don’t ‘get it’.
And what do these boosters protect against Dr. Gottlieb? Pfizer’s own emails says they only protect for a couple of weeks max. The revolving door at the FDA has left the Agency with huge conflicts of interests by existing FDA commissioners and the ex-commissioners lobbying to get their drugs approved. Thanks but no thanks!
If they can keep fear going long enough, just until the digital currency works...
Then: if no 8th booster, then no gas and no food. Sales will skyrocket!
(And also the FR-vaxxers can up their “score” by finally returning to this site and telling us how great Pfizer is.)
