The Food and Drug Administration approved Covid booster shots targeting the omicron BA.5 subvariant on Wednesday, as the United States braces for another wave of infections this fall and winter. It is the first time the FDA has approved a new vaccine formula since the original shots were introduced in December 2020. The new boosters are expected to be available in pharmacies after Labor Day weekend.
As CNBC reports:
The U.S. has secured 171 million doses of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s updated shots so far, according to the Health and Human Services Department.
Pfizer’s new booster dose is authorized for people ages 12 and older, while Moderna’s new shots are authorized for adults ages 18 and older. The eligible age groups can receive the boosters two months after completing their primary series or their most recent booster with the old shots.
The U.S. will no longer use the original vaccines as booster doses for individuals ages 12 and older now that the the updated shots have been authorized, according to the FDA.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has to sign off on the boosters before pharmacies can give them to patients. The CDC’s independent advisory committee is scheduled to meet Thursday and Friday to review the data and issue its recommendations for health-care providers.
The redesigned boosters, according to public health officials, will provide longer-lasting protection against the virus and reduce hospitalizations this fall and winter. The new boosters target both the original strain that emerged in China more than two years ago, known as the “wild type,” and the omicron BA.4 and BA.5 variants, which are now the dominant variants in the United States. Bivalent vaccines are shots that target two different strains.
Here we go again. As I understand it, these jabs have had no human testing. Buyer beware.
Dont need any more boosters
It took just about a year to push out the first version of this nonfunctional vaccine. The BA5 variant has been out only a few months. So how is it that they have covered it with the vaccine in only a few months?!?
DONT need more boostersOK
The Biden family can have mine. I have no use for it haven’t had one and not going to.
My suggestion is not not get it. The more vax’s and boosters that get into our system, the weaker our natural immune system becomes. If you have already been vax’d and boosted, you might get a bad cold. The side effects are more dangerous than the cold you might get. I have not had either and I haven’t even had a cold yet.
I’d still like t know why FDA is approving use of toxic experimental death jabs?
Unfortunately, we can no longer trust the FDA, CDC or any other agency of the Federal government. Individuals of these agencies have partnered with pharmaceutical companies for personal gain, making the advice from these agencies highly suspect. Being one who has pretty bad heart issues, I am so glad I did not receive any vaccines that are now being blamed for creating heart issues in people without heart issues. As a matter of trust, we really just cannot trust government agencies any longer.
Yes indeed; further destruction of the immune system.
THe FDA can shove the new booster shot up their A**
Nazi expiraient has approved and or authorized again by the totalitarian big pharma regime. LOL! Shame on you if you go for this again.
