COVID-19 booster shots will be available soon for some school-aged students.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending Pfizer boosters for students between ages 12-15, saying the booster should be administered five months after the initial series. This follows last month’s guidance from the CDC allowing boosters for students ages 16 and 17 last month.
In other related news, the CDC says moderately-to-severely immunocompromised children ages 5-11 should get an additional primary dose at least 28 days after their second shot. At this time, Pfizer is the only option for those patients.
