The U.S. government will purchase another 105 million doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in anticipation of a fall booster campaign.
FDA advisors are recommending that some U.S. adults get a modified COVID-19 booster shot this fall that better matches the recent variants.It’s not yet clear who would be offered a tweaked booster — they might be urged only for older adults or those at high risk from the virus. But once the FDA decides on the recipe change, Pfizer and competitor Moderna will have to seek authorization for the appropriately updated doses.
Funding for the latest Pfizer purchase comes from reallocated money from earlier COVID-19 relief packages, officials said.
