There is not sufficient evidence to recommend more than one COVID-19 booster shot a year for older people and those with weakened immune systems, an expert advisory group to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Friday.

The COVID-19 working group of the CDC's Advisory Committee For Immunization Practices supported an annual booster campaign, likely in the fall, especially for populations considered at high risk, Dr. Sara Oliver, a CDC official who heads the group, said during a meeting of the agency's outside advisers.

The agency currently recommends older and immunocompromised people receive COVID booster shots more frequently since vaccine effectiveness usually wanes faster for those populations compared to younger people with robust immune systems. In the spring of 2022, the CDC recommended immunocompromised and people over age 50 receive an additional shot if they had received their first booster at least four months earlier.

I want another booster. In a do it yourself pandemic at least let us do it ourselves, hell even if we pay out of pocket (like we don't for everything else in this medical 'system' anyway). Let us get vaccines.

They are starting their slow back walk.

There was never data to support a single dose.

hmmm 🤔

The drill is over!!

No data at all to support any of them. All fabricated with zero credibility.

no shit? i'm sure pfizer would like to comment.

Still pushing this BS?

You don't say! Really? There was never enough data to even approve the vaccines! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

There wasn’t enough evidence to give them in the first place

There wasn’t enough data to support the first booster…

Not enough? Or data doesn’t support? Why report on it if they don’t have enough?
