COVID Booster Pictures To Be Provided To Eligible People Starting Sept. 20 – CBS San Francisco
WASHINGTON (CBS News) – Federal health officials said Wednesday that vaccinated Americans must receive a booster dose eight months after receiving their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to maximize protection from the virus and extend its shelf life.
The country’s foremost health and medical experts from the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced in a joint statement that the Biden government is ready to launch Moderna boosters in the week of 20 two-shot vaccines.
Americans who were the first to get vaccinated against COVID-19 – health care providers, nursing home residents and the elderly – will likely be eligible for a booster by the end of next month, public health officials said. The Biden administration will also make efforts to provide boosters directly to residents of long-term care facilities.
