TWO DEPARTING FDA LEADERS AMONG SCIENTISTS WHO SAY COVID-19 VACCINES DO NOT CURRENTLY ‘SHOW A NEED FOR BOOSTING’

The current evidence on Covid-19 vaccines does not appear to support a need for booster shots in the general public right now, according to an international group of vaccine scientists, including some from the US Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization.

“Current evidence does not, therefore, appear to show a need for boosting in the general population, in which efficacy against severe disease remains high,” the scientists write in a new opinion piece, published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet.
