COVID-19 Booster Shots Will Roll Out In September In The U.S.

簡單來說
"People 18 years and older who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines will be
eligible for a booster dose eight months after their second dose, officials
said."
18歲以上，已接種Pfizer或Moderna疫苗第二劑8個月後，就有資格接種第三劑。
稱為"Booster dose/shot" 9月20日起要開始實施
COVID-19 booster shots of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are set to become
available for all U.S. adults beginning next month, the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services said in a statement.
"Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe
disease, hospitalization, and death could diminish in the months ahead,
especially among those who are at higher risk or were vaccinated during the
earlier phases of the vaccination rollout," HHS said Wednesday morning.
"For that reason, we conclude that a booster shot will be needed to maximize
vaccine-induced protection and prolong its durability."
The statement said that a plan would go into effect from the week of Sept. 20
subject to the Food and Drug Administration "conducting an independent
evaluation and determination of the safety and effectiveness of a third dose
of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines and CDC's Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices (ACIP) issuing booster dose recommendations based on a
thorough review of the evidence."
Health officials say people who got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine
would also likely need an addition shot to prolong its effectiveness against
coronavirus infection and to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms.

People 18 years and older who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines will be
eligible for a booster dose eight months after their second dose, officials
said.
"We know that even highly effective vaccines become less effective over
time," Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said at a White House briefing held
shortly after the statement was released.
"It is now our clinical judgement that the time to lay out a plan for COVID
boosters is now," he said.
He said health officials were concerned about "waning immunity and the
strength of the delta variant" of the coronavirus.
"We are concerned that this pattern of decline will continue in the coming
months," Murthy said.
The announcement comes as health officials across the country are battling a
new wave of COVID-19 cases linked to the highly transmissible delta variant.
The latest infections have once again pushed ICU occupancy rates to the
breaking point in multiple states, especially those with low rates of
vaccination.
Since the start of the pandemic some 20 months ago, more than 623,000 people
in the U.S. have died from COVID-19, according to figures tallied by Johns
Hopkins University.
