Certain people may need 4th COVID vaccine, claims the CDC




People with certain health conditions or a weakened immune system may need a fourth dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention.

WABC reports that the CDC website has been updated with a notice that reads: “moderately and severely immunocompromised people aged ≥18 years who completed an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received an additional mRNA vaccine dose may receive a single COVID-19 booster dose (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Janssen) at least 6 months after completing their third mRNA vaccine dose. In such situations, people who are moderately and severely immunocompromised may receive a total of four COVID-19 vaccine doses.”

The CDC had previously approved a third dose, different from a booster, for some immunocompromised people.
