The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will hear from its vaccine advisory panel later this month on booster shots for the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines and also on vaccinating children as young as 5.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet on Oct. 20 and 21, followed by a second two-day meeting starting on Nov. 2. The advisory panel is made up of outside scientists who give recommendations to the CDC pertaining to vaccines.
