Pfizer submits data to FDA for authorization of Covid vaccine booster shot for general population
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/08/16/covid-vaccine-booster-shot-pfizer-submits-data-to-fda-for-approval.htmlPfizer and BioNTech said they have submitted early stage clinical trial data to the FDA as part of their U.S. application seeking authorization of a Covid-19 vaccine booster shot.
In a phase one trial, a booster dose generated "significantly higher neutralizing antibodies" against the original coronavirus strain as well as the beta and delta variants, the companies said.
Federal health officials aren't recommending booster doses for the general public at this time.
