Vaccine advisers to the Food and Drug Administration voted unanimously to recommend emergency use authorization for a half dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine to be used as a booster.
In addition to administering booster shots to eligible individuals, Kinney pharmacy teams are ready to answer questions, administer other vaccines and fill prescriptions, according to the retailer.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky overruled her agency advisory panel by recommending COVID-19 boosters for people at risk of the coronavirus because of their jobs.
The Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency use authorization for the booster in individuals age 65 years old and older, and individuals age 18 to 64 years old within certain high-risk groups.
