US panel backs COVID-19 boosters only for seniors, high-risk

A government advisory panel on Friday overwhelmingly rejected a plan to give Pfizer COVID-19 booster shots across the board, and instead endorsed the extra vaccine dose only for those who are 65 or older or run a high risk of severe disease. The development was a stinging setback for the White House. A heavy blow to the Biden administration’s sweeping effort was made by the twin votes, to shore up nearly all Americans’ protection amid the spread of the highly contagious delta variant.
