YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIt was up to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky to sort out a crucial question: which Americans should be the first to get Covid-19 booster shots.
And there was little consensus.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice on Thursday voted to narrow eligibility for boosters of the Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE shot authorized by the Food and Drug Administration. Walensky had a choice: side with the advisers, citing the paucity of data on whether younger, vaccinated adults are truly at risk of severe breakthrough cases of Covid-19. Or overrule them, and err on the side of boosters for front-line health workers and others.
Shortly after the panel’s vote, Walensky called Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to lay out the options in front of them, and then met privately for hours with CDC officials to come to a decision, according to people familiar with the process.
