But Friday&#8217;s vote if followed by the FDA would represent a more modest rollout of booster shots than outlined by the Biden administration, which called for their widespread use six months after people received their first round of shots.<\/p>\n<p>Panel members rejected Pfizer&#8217;s request for full approval for booster shots for those aged 16 and older. Instead, the advisory panel&#8217;s recommendation was for an emergency use authorization for the narrower group.<\/p>\n<p>Panel members unanimously approved the recommendation for a third dose for older Americans, and were convinced by evidence showing these individuals were at higher risk of severe COVID-19 and may be more likely to have waning immunity after the first rounds of shots.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA will take the panel&#8217;s recommendation into consideration in making its final decision on the boosters.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Reporting by Manojna Maddipatla and Ankur Banerjee in Bengaluru, Mike Erman in New York, and Julie Steenhuysen in Chicago.
