The European Union’s drug regulator on Monday gave the approval to administer booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine dubbed Comirnaty to people aged 18 and older.

“The [Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use] has evaluated data for Comirnaty showing a rise in antibody levels when a booster dose is given approximately 6 months after the second dose in people from 18 to 55 years old,” the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said in a statement.
