The Food and Drug Administration has amended the authorization for the use of Pfizer and Moderna drugs.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the third booster dose of Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines for people with weakened immunity. This is stated on the agency’s website.
“Today, the Food and Drug Administration has amended the authorization for the use of Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines in emergency circumstances to allow the use of an additional dose for some people with weakened immunity,” the statement reads.
“Another wave of the coronavirus pandemic has begun in the country, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is particularly aware that there is a special risk for people with weakened immunity that the disease will occur in a severe form,” said Janet Woodcock, acting director of the office.
Earlier, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases of the United States, said that using a booster dose of the vaccine against the new coronavirus might be required for people with weakened immunity.
