CDC DIRECTOR SIGNS OFF ON PFIZER, MODERNA BOOSTERS FOR ALL ADULTS

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave a final signoff Friday for everyone 18 and older to get a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna booster if they're at least six months past their final shot, teeing up many Americans to gain extra protection ahead of a possible winter surge in cases.

Recipients of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have already been authorized to get a booster two months after their initial shot.
