Currently, the WHO recommends administering a third dose of any WHO-approved vaccine to those who are immunocompromised. It has also recommended a booster for recipients of the Chinese vaccines who are older than 60, where supplies allow.
"We know that Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and I strongly encourage adolescents ages 16 and 17 to get their booster if they are at least 6 months post their initial Pfizer vaccination series,"
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is aiming to authorise booster doses of Pfizer-BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine for all adults as early as Thursday.
