A federal recommendation for Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine boosters is expected in the coming weeks, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Friday.

The message came at a press briefing by White House COVID-19 response team and public health officials, including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky, who announced that the third dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine can now be officially administered to some American adults.
