Summary

The Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory panel today endorsed the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 booster shot for the elderly and others at high risk because of possible exposure at their jobs or they have underlying health factors. The vote was 19-0 but the recommendation is not final and will go before the FDA to issue an official decision. FOX's Eben Brown speaks to Dr. Marc Siegel, Professor Of Medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center and FOX News Medical Contributor, about the decision and the FDA panel’s Friday meeting on the Johnson & Johnson’s proposed booster.
