The FDA's scientific advisers on Friday will publicly debate Pfizer's evidence for COVID-19 boosters and make a recommendation.

WASHINGTON — Pfizer is recommending U.S. regulators approve a booster dose of its COVID-19 vaccine at approximately six months after the second dose, according to a document provided to the Food and Drug Administration ahead of a key meeting.

The FDA posted the documents online on Wednesday, two days before scientific advisers are scheduled to publicly debate Pfizer's evidence for COVID-19 booster shots.

2nd dose.

Worked well for them.

Israeli health officials will present to US health officials on 9/17, the same day they will vote on this topic.

I've seen quotes in news that FSA folks haven't reviewed data.

Wtf not???
