About 5 million of them have been fully vaccinated for more than five months and are now eligible to receive a booster shot.

Following the FDA's authorizations, today's recommendations ensure people are able to get a boost of protection in the face of Omicron and increasing cases across the country, and ensure that the most vulnerable children can get an additional dose to optimize protection against COVID," CDC Director Dr.
