evidence: - On Thursday the FDA's expert panel voted in favor of booster shots of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine. [...] A panel of independent experts convened by the Food and Drug Administration voted unanimously Thursday in favor of a Moderna booster shot for certain people who got their shot at least six months ago. The group supported offering an extra dose to adults 65 years and older, as well as younger adults who are at high risk of severe COVID-19. The recommendation, backed by a 19-0 vote by the committee, clears the way for the FDA to authorize a booster of Moderna's vaccine for more people. The FDA typically follows the recommendations of its advisory panel, but it is not required to do so.
