Health: US FDA may approve Covid-19 booster without outside advisory panel opinion: CNN – Gulf Digital News
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is unlikely to ask its outside vaccine advisers to weigh in on whether the agency should authorise Pfizer Covid-19 boosters for all adults, CNN reported on Friday, citing a source.
The source told CNN "it's unlikely there is going to be a meeting" of the outside advisers and "there has been no discussion of a meeting" to discuss Pfizer's application.
The FDA said the agency "will determine whether to hold a meeting of the advisory committee ... following its initial review of the information submitted," CNN added.
