, limiting the shots to certain groups, in part because of safety concerns in younger people.
If the FDA authorizes the booster shot for the younger age group, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must officially recommend it before it can be administered.The question of when to lower age requirements for boosters came up in a meeting of the FDA advisory committee last month; no votes were taken on the subject. At the time, some committee members signaled openness to revisiting it.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease doctor at the University of California, San Francisco, said his thinking on boosters has changed in recent months. That the initial vaccinations still hold up against hospitalization and death for younger age groups is reassuring, but protection against infection is important, too, Chin-Hong said.
