BREAKING: CDC advisory group votes to recommend Pfizer’s Covid vaccine booster for at-risk populations. on.msnbc.com/39xtmQz
The advisers voted that all people ages 65 and up and those in long-term care facilities who were initially vaccinated with Pfizer should receive a booster dose.

People ages 50 to 64 with underlying medical conditions should also get a booster dose.
The advisers stopped short of a full endorsement for other groups of at-risk individuals, instead recommending that they may choose to get the booster shot if they feel they need it, in consultation with their physician.
The committee voted against recommending a booster for people ages 18 to 64 who have a high risk of being exposed to the virus at work, including health care workers and teachers.
