PORTAGE MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Pfizer is preparing to seek an emergency use authorization for a third COVID-19 booster that would help protect against the virus and several variants.
According to data from researchers, the third shot, given six months after the second one, would provide up to 10 times more protection.
Currently, scientists are tracking to determine how long the immunity last with the two vaccines given.
The FDA and CDC have both issued statements indicating that it is too soon for a booster shot, and that those who have received the two shots don’t necessarily need a third.
