Ages 16 and 17 can now get COVID-19 booster
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has expanded its recommendation on COVID-19 vaccine booster doses to include individuals who are 16- and 17-years-old. Now, ages 16
and up can get a Pfizer booster shot 6 months after their initial Pfizer series.
“CDC is strengthening its booster recommendations and encouraging everyone 16 and older to receive a booster shot. Although we don’t have all the answers on the Omicron variant,
initial data suggests that COVID-19 boosters help broaden and strengthen the protection against Omicron and other variants,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a December
9 media statement.
