On Friday, an advisory panel to the FDA voted not to fully approve the booster shots for the Pfizer vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Only two committee members voted in favor of adding a jab, but the move was squashed by the remaining 16. The Biden administration initially wanted to get booster shots in the arms of Americans as soon as next week. However, the committee was hesitant to greenlight the added jabs, claiming Pfizer didn\u2019t provide sufficient data showing booster shots were safe or necessary.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">in a 16-3 decision, an FDA panel votes against approving Pfizer&#8217;s covid booster shots, a big blow for Biden&#8217;s efforts to try and inject everyone for a third time by September 20th.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Pearson Sharp (@PearsonSharp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PearsonSharp\/status\/1438955508942065665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although, the panel did vote unanimously to give the go ahead on the shots for Americans ages 65 and older.
