The inspiration4s all civilian crew giving us a tour on their historic Mission Announcer this is Nbc Nightly News with Lester Holt good evening. We begin with Latebreaking News on Covid19 Booster shots. Two highly critical votes by an Fda Advisory Committee Late Today the first recommending against a third Dose Boosters of Pfizers Vaccine for most of the 180 Million fully vaccinated americans and then just a short while ago, the Committee Voting again, this time unanimously endorsing boosters for those 65 and older and those at high risk from severe covid disease. Boosters have been shown to increase protection from covid, but many experts doubt the need for most people right now todays blunt recommendation undercutting president bidens spoken plea for all americans to begin receiving Booster Shots. Miguel almaguer has late Details Reporter Tonight the fda panels dramatic denial. No Booster Shots for the General Public, a Safety Committee overwhelmingly rejecting a third dose of Pfizers Vaccine for most adults. But in an unexpected second vote authorizing its use for those 65 and older and for americans at high risk of contracting severe covid19 we made the decision not to follow israels lead, which is to just give a third dose period. Reporter at the core of todays split decision, clinical research from israel showing Vaccine Protection from infection does wane after six months, but remains highly effective in preventing hospitalization and serious illness. Regardless of the vaccines evaluated, all vaccines have remained effective. Reporter while it may be too early for most to get a booster, the fda advisory committee agreed a third dose could be used under emergency use authorization. The agency could soon officially recommend a Pfizer Booster for well over 21 Million people scientific debate is normal, expected and healthy in the scientific community here we have a body of really rigorous scientific information, and now the question is how to apply it in public Policy Reporter scheduled to meet next week, the cdc still needs to sign off, giving official approval for seniors and those at high risk to get a shot why might boosters not be right for all americans today . These vaccines continue to provide very strong protection against severe disease. Theyre doing a terrific job in keeping people out of the Hospital Reporter the battle over boosters perhaps made more confusing for americans after the White House suggested the General Public would qualify for boosters starting monday the plan is for every adult to get a Booster Shot eight months after you got your second Shot Reporter Pfizers Booster Authorization for seniors doesnt address the 45 of americans vaccinated with Moderna Or Johnson johnson, who are still weeks, perhaps months away from a possible added dose i think we should expect that some Point Boosters are going to happen so the Question Today is not really is it Booster Yes or no, but rather is now the right time for a booster. Reporter Tonight Boosters Stirring Controversy and confusion, just as many seek clarity. So, miguel, weve been obviously watching this fda Safety Committee expectantly, but is this the final word . What are the next steps here lester, we expect the fda to officially approve the Panels Decision on boosters in the coming days, perhaps this weekend or on Monday The Cdc First meets to discuss a Pfizer Booster on Wednesday Shots for seniors could go into arms shortly after that lester Miguel Almaguer tonight, Thank You, sir. Just a short time ago i spoke with dr. Ashish jha, dean of the brown University School of public health and i asked if Todays Decision to not recommend boosters for everyone is an endorsement of the two vaccines weve already had are working . The vaccines we have right now are working. Theyre keeping people out of the hospital. Theyre keeping people alive. For high risk people, a third shot really does look like its going to be beneficial for the rest of us, i think the two doses really are doing a great job. For those in our audience who might have the Johnson Johnson or moderna vaccines, are they likely to see the same thing . I think moderna is coming very soon. Probably the next three or four weeks we should get an update on Moderna J J is a little further behind it may be another couple of months before we get an a guidance im hoping the fda might provide guidance before then. We know a third dose has already been recommended for those who are immunocompromised, but there have been other people getting them. Weve heard stories of folks walking into stores and getting that third shot. Is there any potential harm to that i think at this point if youre young and healthy, there really isnt any benefit. There probably isnt any harm either, but i think right now we should really focus on getting highrisk people that third shot for young, healthy people, i would just wait until we get more data. Thanks, dr. Ashish jha. It was a tragic mistake, that remarkable admission from the Pentagon Tonight about a Drone Strike in afghanistan that did not take out an Isis Target as they had claimed but instead killed ten civilians, including seven children Courtney Kube has that story.
