BOOSTERS

Reported infections have been around record levels for more than a week as the Omicron variant spreads.

Former President Donald Trump told a crowd at an event that he received a COVID-19 booster shot before being met with a smattering of boos.

Students, faculty and staff at Michigan State University will soon be required to receive their COVID-19 booster vaccine.

“If we end up in a situation we’re in supply excess, then we can have those conversations.”

The U.S. is opening COVID-19 vaccine boosters to all adults, and urging them for anyone 50 and older.

An influential U.S. advisory panel will discuss expanding eligibility for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots to all adults Friday, a move that could make the shots available as early as this weekend.

Pfizer’s COVID-19 booster shot restores an individual’s immunity against the virus to 95.6%, according to results from their booster trial.

The Food and Drug Administration’s decisions mark a big step toward expanding the U.S. booster campaign, which began with extra doses of the Pfizer vaccine last month. Specifically, the FDA authorized a third Moderna shot for seniors and others at high risk from COVID-19 because of their health problems, jobs or living conditions — six months after their last shot. For J&J’s single-shot vaccine, the FDA said all U.S. recipients should get a second dose at least two months following their initial vaccination. The FDA rulings differ because the vaccines are made differently, with different dosing schedules — and the J&J vaccine has consistently shown a lower level of effectiveness than either of the two-shot Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. ___AP Writer Mike Stobbe contributed to this story from New YorkMore from PennLiveCOVID-19 shots for kids ages 5-11 coming soon to pediatricians, pharmacies, maybe schools: White House

U.S. regulators on Wednesday signed off on extending COVID-19 boosters to Americans who got the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine and said anyone eligible for an extra dose can get a brand different from the one they received initially. The Food and Drug Administration’s decisions mark a big step toward expanding the U.S. booster campaign, which began with extra doses of the Pfizer vaccine last month. The latest moves would expand by tens of millions the number of Americans eligible for boosters and formally allow “mixing and matching” of shots — making it simpler to get another dose, especially for people who had a side effect from one brand but still want the proven protection of vaccination.

Johnson & Johnson has asked U.S. regulators to allow booster shots of its COVID-19 vaccine as the U.S. government moves toward shoring up protection in more vaccinated Americans.
