Moderna (MRNA, $180.89) and Pfizer(PFE, $53.28) get FDA approval on second booster shot
Moderna and Pfizer shares climbed, after the U.S. Food & Drug Administration authorized the use of a second shot of Covid boosters developed by the pharma companies.
According to the FDA, adults over the age of 50, as well as those with compromised immune systems, can receive a booster dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least four months after receiving the first.
Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, mentioned that current evidence suggests some waning of protection over time against serious outcomes from COVID-19 in older and immunocompromised individuals. Marks said that a second booster dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine could help increase protection levels for these higher-risk individuals. He also said that data revealed that an initial booster dose is critical in boosting protection for all adults from the potentially severe outcomes of COVID-19. “So, those who have not received their initial booster dose are strongly encouraged to do so,”Marks added.
