SALT LAKE CITY — With COVID-19 cases surging in Utah, has the time come for the fully vaccinated to get booster shots?
Pfizer and its partner company in producing one of the three coronavirus vaccines approved for use in the United States, Bio-Tech, announced a new study Thursday showing promising results from administering a third shot, six months after the first two, and expect to submit their findings to federal authorities for authorization.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration responded in a joint statement, "Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time," but said the issue is being studied and the recommendation could change.
