Leaders of more states have moved to endorse COVID-19 booster shots for all adults, bringing the total to seven states nationwide, including Arkansas, California, Colorado, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and West Virginia.
It comes after Pfizer last week formally asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to allow all American adults to be eligible for booster shots of its COVID-19 vaccine, citing recent data showing a third dose would help prevent severe disease. The FDA has yet to make a decision on Pfizer’s request.
